My grandmother gets really dry and irritated eye lids. I have tried giving her eye drops but they don't help they often seem to make it worse. I don't know what to do. It seems that a kind of crust sometimes build up on her eye lids, do anybody know what that could be?
Or it may be an infection.
Older people don't tend to remove the mucus that can accumulate overnight, and it then dries and accumulates.
