This is a hoot - [View all]

so, I've been trying to go organic with my personal care - no more mineral oil, no petroleum jelly, nothing I couldn't pronounce. Only good stuff like shea butter and bee's wax.

So my optometrist recommended I use a special lubricant gel on my eyes at night. Ingredients: petroleum jelly and mineral oil!

I guess the theory is to get something that will act to coat the cornea and help float away debris without supporting bacteria.
