Joelise is right best to try to get Systane on prescription, I have never heard of Blesphasol how does that work?

I too have dry eye syndrome, I was prescribed Systane eye drops and I use Blephasol to alleviate eye watering. Get the Sytane eye drops on prescription , as they are very expensive .

I have suffered with this hugshelp and was also prescribed Systane it was very good I was also advised to clean my eyes with cotton buds soaked in hot water make sure temperature is OK before you apply the cotton bud to your eyelids ?

Hello hugshelp.

Yes, a few months ago my eyelids were sore & puffy and I woke every morning with sore, red eyes.
My optician said my eyes were very dry and recommended using Systane eye drops a few times a day.
It's really helped and my eyes are back to normal, but I've carried on with the drops, as instructed.
Hope that helps.

Hello Hugs, I've had Blepharitis for many years and tried all that you have. I soak a flannel in warm water each night in the bath and gently press over the eye lids. It eases the soreness for me. I hope you get better advice from other grans.

Anyone had this and got any advice please? I've got the wipes, drops and heated eye mask and am doing the lid massage, cleaning etc but it doesn't seem to be helping so far It's very uncomfortable.
