Dear Margaret,
For the facial superficial skin around the eyes, or for the mucous membranes of the eyes (i.e. the cornea etc.)?
For mucous membranes, the only good alternative that I can think of is aqueous octenidine, which unfortunately is not available in Australia. But let’s see what other suggestions come from the group.
Best regards, Matthias.
