Rits, I think you mean 0.9% NOT 9% Just wanted to be 100% sure. Bill

Rits, My ophthalmologist suggested Hypochlor which is sprayed on a cotton patch and gently applied to the eyelid. Hypochlor is a saline solution which I think is essentially an eyelid cleaner/disinfectant. As it happened this occurred in the same time-frame when I was switching from 0.09 to 7% saline for Bronch/Mac resulting in me having quantity of unused 0.09. vials. So, thinks me, I'll just use my surplus 0.09 saline in lieu of the Hypochlor (saline) . I think the cost difference is minimal so going forward I'll decide which to use more based on convenience of purchase rather than significant cost difference. Since I can buy the vials from Amazon very conveniently I'll likely continue doing it that way. Nothing to do with lung problems I use artificial tears for dry eyes through the night time hours along with warm (hot) compressed too; mainly in the morning as a "wake-up" routine. Geez, wonder what I could accomplish if I didn't have all this stuff to worry about? LOL Don
