try diluting the theratears with warm water if that not help switch to occusoft foam eyelid cleaner.

Hi John,
I have taken your advise above mixed with some general research online and started warm presses followed by cleaning of the eye lid with baby shampoo followed by application of Thera Tears. My only issue is that every time i put in the Thera Tears my eyes seem more irritated. Why is this?
Thanks
Jordan
To cut to the chase on blepharitis: Lid hygeine with Occusoft Foam Lid Cleaner or Theratears SteriLid foam cleaner (over the counter). Azasite drops (expensive) to lids at bedtime for 6-8 weeks and perhaps a couple of months of oral tetracycline.

John,
Thank you for your comment. Blepharitis is what they diagnosed me with, i just forgot the name. I did the various treatment options they discussed with me, however i had no improvement in the symptoms. I will read up on it a little more.
If anyone suffering from Blepharitis has any input on some treatment methods that have been successful with them that would be appreciated.
Once again thank you.
All 3 of the professionals you consulted have agreed your problem is the edge of the lid, likely blepharitis. use the search feature and archives and read about the diagnosis and treatment of blepharitis. Also there is a discussion group question-thread over several years old on this problem.
