I am a long term sufferer of blepharitis and dry eye syndrome, recently while researching for treatment updates I stumble across a post by lynda79. The same post is on a few forums and she has figured out that a product called "wet ones" that contain an ingredient Benzethonium Chloride are a cure for blepharitis are a cure. Simple as that, it only takes 3.5 months of use as mentioned by other posters.
So as I am looking at the posts and checking out the profiles of the people who are making these statements about the mericle cure such as eileen64 UK, jenny_74 and the aptly titled Honjon..... I had a good think about things and today as I was going in to Sainsburys (A shopping centre) in the UK, I noticed a big advertised container on the way in offering free "wet ones" wipes.. Now I am no albert einstien or warren buffett and I dont like making predictions but I am a natural sceptic and my bull**** dector has all ways been quite good. I smell bull**** in the worst of a way and if you people just look at the comments these people are making and the replies and name dropping in thier posts you will sense something odd too.
I think we are dealing with a bunch of company promoting charlatans and i for one am not prepaired to put that stuff near my eyelids
I quite agree, wet wipes contain no medicinal products at all, they are useless, and probably as you say just a cheap advertising gimmick. I too am a blepharitis sufferer and the only thing that gives me the slightest relief is hypremellose eye drops and can confidently recommend these although you have to use a lot and they don't "hit the spot" 100,% of the time. As a matter of fact I have had to use so much of them that Pharmacy2,,U, whom I deal with, are reluctant to keep up the supply of how much I seem to need, but they are very refreshing, and go at least some way to easing inflammation, only hope this helps, Fiona
By the way, sorry for my terrible grammar. I was in a hurry to get out the door while writing my original post 
Hi there, I suffered from Blepharitis for over ten years and can honestly say that the wet ones have helped me more then any orher product out there. I was sceptical at first and was doubtful they would change this annoying condition. I only used the wet ones for a few weeks and the crusts I usually get every morning have disappeared . I am nothing to do with promoting products, just a genuine Blepharitis sufferer that can confirm that the wet ones do you actually work. you can take my word for it or continue to suffer. But they did work for me. Just saying
I havent been active for a while on this forum because I have been happy in remission and focused on my busy life.I never stopped receiving messages through my e mail another words I never signed out for good..Only because this forum helped me approach my condition in totally different way.Yes I feel respect for Linda and others who unselfishly keep on helping people.So jakestephen, think again, because if you keep on following official medicine you will hardly ever get rid of this condition.I am not a person who easily get brain washed, I dont buy everything out there..
The thing is WHETHER OR NOT WE WORK FOR THIS COMPANY, IT HELPS ANYWAY...But i have to disappoint you, I dont..I never met Lynda but my guts tell me she is kind and genuine person...
I dont have time to waste so i dont want any deeper conversation here.
You have every right to be sceptical but do you have any courage or any will to bring this condition to the end?
You could at least try and then say something...It cannot be definite cure for everyone but for quite few - yes..
You make me use your weapons and say this : what if you work for a competetive company yourself.? How are you feeling now?
I am sorry, I felt I had to say something back...
Hypremellose drops work for me every time, although I agree with you about wet wipes, they are completely ineffective
jenny_74 its funny how I mentioned you in my original post. Its as if you lot are programmed to take advantage of peoples emotions.
I also suffer a lot with Blepharitis and dry eye and since March this year I have been tearing my hair out and being really depressed because of it. I am still in a lot of discomfort it keeps flaring up and is so painful. I would try anything for relief and I did try the "wet one " and was so disappointed they didn't work for me I was unfortunately allergic to them. But I wouldn't knock anyone for using these or anything else if they are working for them. I am from today trying the "blephaclean" wipes and hopefully these will work although they are a lot more expensive than the wet ones.
well, I used the wet ones,and was really noticing a major improvement, when I accidently poured some substance In my right eye. I mistook it for my eye drops. My left eye gives me very little problems because the wet ones almost cleared it up, but i stoped using them because of the accident. I think the wet ones are a great idea, and that they really work My right eye is doing better now though. Hardly any problem, except for the blep. I may use them again in the furture. Thanks Lynda79 for all your help! Dena
Hypremellose drops work for me where nothing else does, they really effectively brought down the inflammation and I don't know why they are not given more credit
I totally agree with you. This product is not for the eyes and so many of these people on this forum have had to stop using it because it is so drying to the lids. This product should not be used, and shame on the ones who are promoting it if it is in fact - being used for advertising. What a terrible thing to do to Blephritis sufferers.
We suffer enough with this chronic disease and need to get good info through this forum.
When I found out I had blepharitis, I searched the Internet just like you looking for info on this annoying condition. I can't afford expensive drops or ointments that the doctor wanted to perscribe and really I didn't know what the long term effects would be for those either. When I found info on the wet wipes I also was skeptical. I tried them out of desperation because I couldn't stand it anymore and I'm happy I did. my last eye Drs appt proved to me that wet ones work. No more blepharitis he said GONE. I told him about using wet ones. I thought he would yell at me and say I was crazy but instead he said YES wet ones they work but not for everybody because they don't get down deep into the lash line. But they worked for me And my eyes are fine no ill effects from using them. You can click my name and see all my posts. I'm happy I found Linda and the other wet one users because blepharitis is horrible and now I can wear makeup again.
Hypremellose drops do not have side effects and free on the NHS
Hi fiona51388. I was using the hypromellose drops till my surgery changed them and found it was cheaper to buy over the counter for a better mix ....the surgery prescription went from BP 0.3% w/v to BP 0.1% w/v. Not knowing if it would make a difference I decided to buy them myself ...... Unfortunately I have never received anything free from NHS so most things are cheaper for me to buy. I am using the drops and gel. The gel is better for when I go to work .... I have also changed from the Johnson baby shampoo (yellow) to their new born fragrance free shampoo (white) see if this makes a difference ....
I would never use baby shampoo as I used to use it on my hair and it stung when I got it in my eyes. I am happy with the hypremellose as they are very effective
Jake I agree. I think though that Linda is talking about Wet Ones that are available in the US, which are slightly different. However, the UK Wet Ones, tell you to keep them away from your eyes.
I can't use Hypromellose, I am allergic to them. I used Liquifilm for years, until a few months ago, when a new Registrar told me they are 'old fashioned'! He prescribed Hyabak drops, which are preservative free and I too, use loads of them. He also changed my Lacrilube that I was using at night, to VitA-POS.
Do you use a hot compress on your eyes too?
I really need something more than the drops .... Even at the moment my eyes look as if I have been made up to star in a vampire film !! Red over eyelids with a welt on the right eye .... Ands ark red under the eyes with awful marks .... I am back to the doctors Wednesday and hopefully I will be referred again to the specialist ...... The drops alleviate the dry eye but not my Blepharitis ..... Unfortunately ..... If it wouldn't be so painful I would cry .... :-(
Thanks Dena, It's great to hear they improved your condition but the facts are still that there is not a whole lot of people coming forward to say they are cured from blepharitis (apart from the named in my original post) and personally I still think it's a promotional scam.
Years back I seen a post about some woman curing blepharitis with bleach that was mixed with water... this sort of thing is crazy and because no doctor or trained expert is willing to come forward and give an air or credibility to these claims I would not go putting strong hand cleaner near my eyes! there is all ready someone who had a bad reaction to it on this forum...
I understand that people are desperate about trying to find a cure, but how do you know that these wipes are not doing irreversible damage to your eyes or eyesight?
Maybe you are right Mrsmop, It could be a genuine case and I don't like painting a doom and gloom picture on something that could possibly work for some people, but I as a long-term sufferer of blepharitis and dry eye syndrome (who has tried every product under the sun and read every forum) likes to question a claim that I believe to be untrue.
I hold claims about a "total cure" with the height of suspicion, especially when the claimant and associated uses every chance to name the product and its benefits while ignoring the potential downside, I mean, if everyone just jumps on the words of someone who claims to have a cure do you not think its possible for large companies to see a vested interest in manuplitating the gullable. Please go back and read through the forum posts if you want to decide for yourself.
Saying all that, I have an interest in eyelid conditions, so much so that I recently started a company in the UK with an interest in this field also. I'm not afraid to admit it and we make our own eyelid warm compresses. Cure? - unfortunately not but an effective method to treat the condition and bring relief. One that I am not afraid to say I use also.
You wont find me on here bragging about a product or naming my product either. I am a blepharitis, dry eye syndrome sufferer first and I don't like to see people being taken advantage of as I have been conned for 10 years by so many ridiculous products, 90% of don't work. My main concern is that this all turns out to be a cheap publicity stunt!
I think it's interesting to note that my general doctor and ophtamologist prescribed to me a Tobradex ointment and eye drops that have the SAME active ingredient of Benzethonium Chloride in it, though in a much less concentration. I'm pretty sure it was this ointment that saved me and is the only med I am still using - I can put it on at night and wake up with zero to little swelling or itch.
I did try the Wet Ones at first and was skeptical about them as well, but was willing to try anything when mine got really, really bad. I asked my opthamologist about them and he said it would be fine to try, so I did. I'm not sure if it was the Wet Ones, the Tobradex, or any other combo of meds/methods that helped, though.
I live in the US, we have Wet Ones marketed and in stock everywhere, in almost every store, free at the doors of stores, and to purchase. They are a household name. They are usually found in the baby aisles as many moms use them as antibacterial wipes in their diaper bags, cars, picnic baskets, etc...
Point is - it is such a large company that I doubt this is any type of promotion, unless the Wet ones in the UK are a completely different company than the US one.
Just my thoughts...
