Eyelid irritation
Due to preservatives in antibiotics eye drops my eyelids have become very dry and constantly irritated. I have done warm compresses, cleaning with oculeaf eyelid cleanser but it's not helping me for long term. Is there any solution for this?

Since Antibiotics have a fixed course, it's not a long term concern. Depending on the cause we can probably look for an alternative
