I’ve done three rounds of xdemvy - two for mites, and most recently one off-label because there is some research showing improvement in certain dry eye conditions. I also use wipes.

One of my eye specialists says to consider eye hygiene up there with tooth hygiene - you brush your teeth, you should clean your eyes too.

Also, GIant Microbes is where I got my COVID plushies. They are adorable.

I keep reading the thread title to the tune of the “Reading Rainbow” theme song.
