32 yr old female, 2 corneal transplants in the past. safe to rub coconut oil on the eyelids for moisture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lower eyelids: yes. We recommend avoiding liquid moisturizers on the top eyelid as these can leak into the eye. A thicker moisturizer on the top eyelid is fine. Of course this is all a precaution and you could very well be fine either way. Good luck.
