Nancy....
"Eye gunk and grit:" is pretty common for the average PWP. After
25 years trying to win a few battles, if not the war, I've come up
with some modifications to my daily routine which noticeably
improve my quality of life, such as the following for relief of
"Eye gunk and grit."
Just before going to bed and first thing upon arising in the
morning (Well, ya might wanna stop for a pit stop first) <grin>
you might try gently washing around your eyes using tepid or even
coolish water plus a drop or two of baby shampoo (I use Johnsons &
Johnsons).
ALSO - gently ("Gently" is the key word here, m'dear) dab a bit of
a "for eyes only" eye cream or lotion around your eyes after
rinsing off the shampoo, and FINALLY, just before ya turn off your
lights at nite, consider investing in a good eye-drops and give
each eye a coupla drops.
Ditto upon waking up....
I wish I could guarantee ya this will work for you as it does for
me... But if it doesn't work, you should perhaps visit an eye
specialist just to make sure the cause of the problem is PD and
not an infection of some sort.
Errrrr.... or ya can go to an eye doc BEFORE ya change your daily
routine.
