OCuSOFT Lid Scrub

Recognized as the market leader and #1 recommended by eye doctors, OCuSOFT® Lid Scrub® Eyelid Cleansers are intended for daily use and are available in pre-moistened pads or foam pump dispensers for easy application.

Their mild, non-irritating formulations are 16X milder than baby shampoo (which was the standard of care until OCuSOFT). OCuSOFT® Lid Scrub® Original Formula is a surfactant based cleanser intended to be used on the outer eyelid and lid margins and works by removing excessive oil, debris, and desquamated skin from the eyelids.

What Is OCuSOFT Lid Scrub Used For?

OCuSOFT describes Lid Scrub Original as formulated for daily use to cleanse the eyelids and help manage the buildup of oil, debris, and environmental residue associated with eyelid discomfort. Eye doctors commonly recommend eyelid scrubs, along with warm compresses, as part of blepharitis care.

OCuSOFT Lid Scrub Original vs. Lid Scrub PLUS

Lid Scrub Original is the everyday eyelid cleanser described above. The manufacturer describes Lid Scrub PLUS as a leave-on eyelid cleanser designed for intensive cleansing that does not need to be rinsed, meant for eyelids prone to heavy buildup. Ask your eye doctor which one fits your eyelids.

How Often Should You Use OCuSOFT Lid Scrub?

The cleansers are intended for daily use. How many times a day, and for how many weeks, depends on why you are using them, so follow the schedule your eye doctor gives you and the directions on the package. Dr. Zielinski shows the technique in the video above.

Should you rinse OCuSOFT Lid Scrub off?

Read the exact formula name on your package before using the technique in the video. OCuSOFT identifies Original pads as a rinse-off cleanser. Its PLUS formula is designed to remain on the eyelid without rinsing. A no-rinse instruction for PLUS does not apply to Original.

Use the directions for your particular pad or foam product and the schedule your eye doctor recommends. If you change formulas, check the instructions again rather than carrying over the previous routine. Cleaning the eyelids is different from putting a medicine into the eye; ask your eye doctor or pharmacist if you cannot identify the product or its directions.
