I was wary of trying Nulids because I have a mild case of ocular rosacea. My ophthalmologist encouraged me to give it a try. I am so glad I did! I have severe dry eyes and have found my eyes less dry and swollen than usual. I now need to use less rewetting drops than I usually do. After using it for three weeks I have noticed that the Nulids treatment has been much more effective than using a heated compress on my eyes once per day. In fact, the heat treatment appeared to exacerbate my ocular rosacea but the Nulids treatmentdoes not. I am careful to use the Nulids device very gently on my eyelids. I also have found for me personally it is most gentle on my eyes if I use a squirt of the Nulids gel on the device tip for each eye (as opposed to one squirt for both eyes).
