on the advice of my eye doctor, several times a day, i add a few drops of BABY shampoo to a cup of warm water and soak my eyes with a tissue that has been dipped into the solution.,, been doing it for over a year... all i have to do is get complacent and skip a few days and the crusties and potential for an irritating stie return... it may help others as well.
