Yes, to bathe your eyes.

I suffer from blepharitis (infections of eyelashes) and iritis. I have to bathe my eyes daily.

1tsp salt in 1litre water

tears are salty, remember?

SaintGeorge · 13/04/2006 14:34

Do them like you would a baby, fresh cotton wool for each eye, clean downwards and outwards.

Then, (if cucumber too zingy) try cold, wet teabag on each eye for 20 minutes. About the only decent use I can find for a teabag personally Smile
