blepharitis, contacts, deodorant, eye, healthy, rejuvenated

I’ve been reflecting on my time on Maui…

I have blepharitis and have to clean my eyes every morning with a soapy towelette… for the last couple of months one eye has been inflamed… it takes ages for these inflammations to resolve… I’ve been using a special ointment every day which also affects my vision a bit… I stopped about a week before we left so that I would be able to wear my contacts while we were there…

I realize that my eye is almost back to normal, even with wearing my contacts all day, every day while we were there…

the other thing I noticed was that I didn’t need to wear deodorant, even though it was very hot the whole time we were away…

was it the ocean, the temperate climate, the air….

don’t know but am feeling rejuvenated;-)…

big girl pants, blepharitis, eyes, mask, optometrist, routine

this morning I was able to get in to see my optometrist…

  
I’ve been using ointment for weeks trying to get rid of a persistent hordeolum on my upper eyelid… besides looking bad, sometimes it is also painful…

for a couple of years I have been using eyelid cleaning pads every day to be sure my eyelids stay clean and healthy… really have to be on top of blepharitis so it doesn’t recur… 

now we are adding something else to the regime… at least once a week I am supposed to use a heated mask over a damp facecloth for ten minutes…

here’s the mask I will be using which I had to buy today…

 
great that there are all these products to help deal with this ongoing problem…

always something, lol…

blepharitis, chronic, cleaning pads, eye doctor

so, when I was at the eye doctor yesterday he mentioned that blepharitis is a chronic condition…

don’t remember hearing that before… maybe someone told me and I blocked it…

we went over the steps to help keep it under control and rather than take a brochure I took this photo…

good news was that I was able to pick up the eye cleaning pads that I’d been looking for…

now I have to follow a new process every day to ensure the flare-ups don’t happen… but, at least I can do something about it…
