Nulids (Best at home treatment for Blepharitis and MGD)

Home dry eye treatment to reduce blepharitis and switch on oil glands

I love the feeling of using Nulids. My favourite use is to apply a drop of Zocushield Gel to the Nulids silicon tip. Then switch on the device and use it on my eyelids. This combination offers significant relief from dry eye discomfort. Nulids device cleanses the eyelid area and switches on oil glands .

ZocuShield Gel

This gel is made from a vegetable called Okra. Sounds interesting?

ZocuShield Gel has discomfort/pain reducing properties. It also helps reduce blepharitis and kill bacteria/demodex.

You squeeze a tiny amount of gel and put it on the outside of your eyelids. Rub it in gently (one ZocuShield syringe lasts a long time). If you use Nulids, Zocushield can give you even more relief. Try ZocuShield Gel – it feels great!

Ziena / 7Eye Dry Eye Glasses

Do you have sore eyes when you put on a face mask? Work in wind, dust or air conditioning? Or just want relief from dry eyes?

Dr Plowman personally wears Ziena Marina frames. These frames block things from getting in. Plus they keep more of your normal tears.

Tear Restore (Best warm compress for dry eyes)

Warm compress that you don’t have to plug in!

I love the feeling of the warmth from this new heat system for dry eyes and MGD. For me, it gives soothing around my face and eyes. Here’s what I love about Tear Restore System:

  • Warm lasts for ten minutes per mask (I like to use at least two for sustained heat)
  • Easy to re-activate & disinfect (heat in a kettle or saucepan for about five minutes to reactivate)
  • Keep doing your activities (see through the holes and enjoy the warmth)

Who is this product not for? People who prefer to close their eyes during treatment. Try the Tear Restore Eye Warm Compress .

Stare at a computer all day? Feel like you’re forgotten to blink or have a feeling of something in the eye?

Eyeblink is a free app that helps you to get work done and reminds you to blink.

It gives you:

  • Blink stats
  • Interactive training
  • Less brightness and blue light
  • Smart breaks

Eyeblink has been a great reminder for me whenever I use a laptop or desktop computer. (No smartphone version currently available.)
