Thanks. However, Lacri-lube eye ointment "contains white soft paraffin, liquid paraffin (also known as mineral oil) and lanolin alcohols (also known as wool alcohols). These ingredients produce a transparent, lubricating and moistening film on the surface of the eyeball."
Mineral oil Is a light mixtures of alkanes in the C15 to C40 range.
"EPA-lube" is not painful on the sclera even at 100% concentration. It does need to be cut otherwise you will have haze from the mixture of oil and normal 0.9% NaCl tear mixture.
Still don't try this at home, I'm professionally educated and skilled to recognize and treat reactions/infections
-----------
My experience: left eye one gtt with a few 0.9 normal saline gtts after to clear "oil" vision
1) 100% must be cut with 0.9% Normal Saline
2) PlusEPA is somewhat oxidized...smells like fish, although when I injest PO I don't have fish Eructation
3) clears nasolacrimal duct within minutes, you can smell and taste oil
4) seems to have cleared left nasal passage also
5) throughout the day no irritation, no redness, no oily vision
6) left eye has felt significantly more lubricated over day, especially noted outside
Plan to take 5 days off and watch for s/s of Longer term reactions then repeat again.
This is NOT advisable to try.
