Hi, I use regular eye drops for the moisture.
Clarissa, I have developed a droopy lid the past few months. And also wake up with awfully swollen/ puffy lids in both eyes.
Heaven help me if I cry,or something causes them to water, cause then they are swollen for days and nothing gets the swelling down!
I haven't been dx'd with bart, but strongly suspect it.

I was not aware of Cipro eye drops, but I have recently been using Zithromycin eye drops. They are brand new, so new I had to inform CVS about them. I have used them for about a month.
I have severe dry eyes, my eyes did not itch, they burned. I actually got a very large blister on my eyeball. When I finally realized how severe my dry eyes were and that putting drops in nearly every hour.........things felt much better.
I can't use anything with preservatives in them. I have read that is like putting soap in your eyes, will dry them out terribly.
I think I will go look up the Cipro eye drops. Thanks

DakotasMom:
We had a thread going on about droopy lid/swollen eyes pertaining to Bart. Randibear started the post and I think it was titled droopy right eyelid.
Definitely check it out. I think Bart is the swollen eye/eye droop/black eye culprit. It was just a couple weeks ago..
Some people had some alternative cures for these things such as accupuncture and peppermint essential topical oils.

That's what my hunch has been...the insidious Bart. My eyes have been morphing since I've been treating the Bart.
Others have said the same thing, so I think we can safely say that this is a Bart symptom. Thankfully, everyone said it cleared after treatment.
It will be an added bonus to be healthy and NOT look like Rocky Balboa. Yippeee!
