Guide to Lid and Lash Cleansers

Jan 12, 2021
 
Eyelid and lash cleansers are important to use on a daily basis to remove excessive amounts of bacteria.  We all have bacteria that are normal to live on our lids and lashes.  Cleaning your eyelids and lashes is part of the four-step daily practice I recommend to all of my dry eye patients.  If you're not sure what I'm referring to, check out this blog here.
