Medical Forum / General / Vision / February 2005emu oil on the eyelids?
hi. can someone please tell me whether it would be okay to use pure emu oil 2x daily along the rims of my eyelids to ease redness of the eyelids associated with blepharitis? i look like a raccoon! (my eyelids, including the 1/2 extending out from the corner of each eye where the two eyelids meet, have been discolored for years). i have already tried a proper eyelid cleaning regimen with no success. any other suggestions? thanks so much. > hi. can someone please tell me whether it would be okay to use pure emu > oil 2x daily along the rims of my eyelids to ease redness of the [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > already tried a proper eyelid cleaning regimen with no success. any > other suggestions? thanks so much. I have no idea, but I will tell you my experience with pure emul oil on a freckle on my nose. It made the freckle raw and was reddish colored. The rawness/redness went away when I quit using it. I wouldn't myself put it near my eyes. Hope this helps. Dee I would consider trying in the short term a combination steroid/antibiotic ointment like Tobradex, and then switching to a nightly application of erythromycin after the redness has subsided. Oral doxycycline would be effective as well. Don't know much about emu oil, but I don't believe it would be as effective as prescribed medications. ------------------------- > hi. can someone please tell me whether it would be okay to use pure emu > oil 2x daily along the rims of my eyelids to ease redness of the [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > already tried a proper eyelid cleaning regimen with no success. any > other suggestions? thanks so much. > hi. can someone please tell me whether it would be okay to use pure emu > oil 2x daily along the rims of my eyelids to ease redness of the [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > already tried a proper eyelid cleaning regimen with no success. any > other suggestions? thanks so much. My personal experience is that unicorn oil is much more effective. Bill hey everyone. thank you so much for the replies. rm, as for the antibiotic ointments, is the erythromycin something that can be used long-term? bill, the unicorn oil is much more effective at...? reducing the redness? i did a quick search on the web but couldn't find any information. thanks again. > hi. can someone please tell me whether it would be okay to use pure emu > oil 2x daily along the rims of my eyelids to ease redness of the [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > already tried a proper eyelid cleaning regimen with no success. any > other suggestions? thanks so much. Just wanted to let you know Emu oil is a "tissue nutrient" which feeds the skin helping it to become healthy. It also has natural anti-inflammatory properties. It's great stuff. :) >> hi. can someone please tell me whether it would be okay to use pure >> emu oil 2x daily along the rims of my eyelids to ease redness of the [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > the skin helping it to become healthy.

Those who know, know who knows. Did you ever try the emu oil on your eyelids? I too have blepharitis. I had gotten it under control, but then it started back again about 4 weeks ago. Do you have problems when you try to use the warm compresses? My eyes stay red for a couple hours after the treatment.
