My eyes


I went to the eye doctor because of my dry itchy eyes. He said I have to put some drops in them each day, take a break from my contact lenses, and shampoo my eyelids. I kinda felt like he was having a little fun with me on that last one, but I asked him to repeat himself and he said "shampoo your eyelids - use baby shampoo". He reiterated it and didn't crack a smile... that's doctor code for "I'm serious". I still think he's having fun with me though.

Dan,
I think you misunderstood him...he said "Shamu's in Crisis!" They are having trouble keeping the killer whale population up in Nova Scotia and he was probably a member of Greenpeace or something.

you should probably even shampoo your eyes too...sounds like you have dry skin on the surface of your pupils and the baby shampoo would help that. -jt

Hey man,
Try Omega 3 pills. Some older lady I work with has dry eyes and she said it helped. My daily lunch conversations are about vitamins and medications. God I'm getting old!

Love the blog!! But baby shampoo?please don't. Not that I doubt your own innate sense of intelligence. And now my rant (I can't control it, really) Personal care products are full of poison, I know - I worked in the industry. Next time you're bored take your shampoo bottle to the computer and look up the brand or ingredients at www.cosmeticsdatabase.com.
