Dear Dr. SerVaas: About a year ago, I was fighting reddened eyelids--and then I saw one after another testimonial addressed to you. How thankful I was--for you answered my question and problem. I have just simply kept the eyelids cleansed with soap and warm water, and no recent occurrence.Incidentally, there may or may not be any connection with so-called floaters, but in my case they ceased about the same time. Since those black breakaway particles annoyed my vision, I'm thankful to have them disappear. Praise God.

Dear Reader: The soap we recommended was three drops of Johnson's Baby Shampoo diluted in one-half cup warm water. Place a warm washcloth over the closed eyelids for one minute. Then dip the washcloth in the solution and gently scrub the base of the upper and lower lashes.
