Eye irritated and burning

Asked by Anonymous - Eye irritated and burning: My one eye has been irritated off and on and they prescribed me and ointment that says Neomycin, Polymyxin B, And Dexamethasone.  They told me to do it 3 times a day for 7 days putting about the size of a grain of rice inside the eye lid.   It seems to keep coming back after months, has anyone has any luck getting rid of this irritation?  This gets rid of it for months but it eventually comes back and it seems about twice a year I get this burning and dry sensation.

Anonymous Says: It helps to keep your eye lids and eye lashes clean, everyone should actually do that as those oils and bacteria can irritate the eye.  You dont have to scrub hard just use johnson baby shampoo to rub the eye lids and lashes (or regular ivory soap which has less irritants then other bar soap) and clean it at night before bed and morning when you get up.

Anonymous Says: Try using bruder mask as it helped me (you can buy anywhere online, walmart, amazon, etc). You just microwave it for a short time then put over your eyes for 5 minutes a day and it gets all the oils flowing, I was surprised it helped me alot.  I dont even use it everyday, I just use it whenever my eyes are itchy or if they have that dry feeling.
