Unfortunately, there is currently no cure for this condition. However, it's effects can be reduced so that they are almost not noticeable. This can be done by applying a warm wet compress to the lids - such as a washcloth with hot water - for about 2 minutes. After this remove the crust around the eyes using a cloth or a Q tip with diluted facial soap or baby shampoo. Gently and repeatedly rub along the lid margins while eyes are closed. Ask for any treatments from your doctor to improve the condition. It might seem like a lot to do but it is possible to reduce the effects a lot so it is worth the trouble. It is important to keep in and around the eyes clean to avoid any infection too. This will need to be a continuous treatment or the irritation will arise again. Good luck I suppose.
