David-- it is possible you may have blepharitis, which is very common with
PWPs. This can result in crusty eyelids.. Peter has had the problem and
was told by eye doc to cleanse the lids daily. This is quite different
from dry eyes which are relieved by artificial "tears". Ask your eye doc
to check, and
if that's it, he/she will instruct you in the cleansing process. Good luck---
