My wife is from America and has recently relocated to the UK after we got married this year, she has a condition
called corneal edema and uses Bauch & Lomb Muro128 ointment to counter the symptoms recurrent corneal erosion
trouble is she's runningout of her ointment and you can't get it in this country at all, can anyone suggest a source of
the ointment or an alternative, she's drawing a blank from her UK GP and various Pharmacists she's spoken to.

You may struggle there. There isn't a Na Cl ointment in the BNF, only drops.
Hycosan night would be fine for the recurrent erosion but it won't have the same effect for the oedema.
She may have to use both until she can see an ophthalmologist here. Alternatively as it appears not to be a prescription medication just ship it in.

Is it this one?

Seems to be available OTC in the US. I'm here at the moment but probably couldn't get it in time, but maybe ask in the US forum?
