Re: need help w/ ocular symptoms!

[Guest guest]

Dawn, consider that you may be allergic to one of the products you are using.

I would stop everything, except warm compresses, for a few days and change

brand of lubricating eye drops, making sure you have one with no

preservatives. Buy a single dose vial.

What is the ointment you are using? Also read my old posts on Omega oils,

taken internally for ocular symptoms. Good luck, Kate

It may be the ointment that you are using that is causing your

increased problems. I found that my ocular rosacea symptoms were made

much much worse by many ointments, creams and lotions. I also began

washing my hands to remove any trace of any lotion or cream that I

would use so I wouldn't inadvertenly get some on/near my eyes.

Everyone is different but once I started doing that my symptoms

improved 100%. I also stopped using all eyemake up until my eyes

cleared up then gradually started but not with anything I had used

before - only the Kiss-Me-Mascara works for me - and then a month or

so later the Jane Iredale products. I might add that the products i

discontinued using were products that I had used for years and then

suddenly/gradually became sensitive to them.Good luck - I know how

awful you feel when your eyes are like that!
