Anyone tried Avanova spray?

[Way2dry]

I just came across something called Avanova spray for blepharitis.  It is a prescription lid cleaner and they claim it improves your eyelids in 2 weeks.  Has anyone tried this?

I couldn't find any reviews on it and my eye specialist never heard of it.

Avanova is a prescription only solution, and as such has been tested and approved by the FDA, at least in the US.

It's basically a very dilute, buffered, bleach solution (we older nurses would recognise it as a form of Dakin's)

Because of the buffering, it shouldn't be irritating, but it does apparently have that "swimming pool" smell (chlorine).

Their website: avanova.com ; has some research notes under the "healthcare professional" tab. (It doesn't ask for credentials, just gives more information on the scientific side than the patient tab offers).

Thanks for the information, Linda and bluegardenia!
