I don't know the best but I can tell you what I have heard.
Parsley flakes in the water helps.
Stay away from food with red dyes in them.
I have read that a lady would brew camomile tea every morning and wipe her pup's eyes every morning with the brewed tea.
I have heard of mixing milk of Magnesia (sp) peroxide and baby powder or cornstarch.
I have heard that giving one 1/2 a tums a day helps
And I have read somewhere too, that you can use contact saline solution to loosen the crusty parts from the hair. Careful not to get any of these in the eyes.
Personally I just use a product from Drs. Fosters and Smith called Clean Eyes. It works quicker and it doesn't hurt them if it does get into the eyes. They have Show Eyes and Clean Eyes products and I think Show Eyes you have to be careful not to get into the eyes but the Clean eyes you can.
I am sure you already know but hair poking the eyes will make them water a lot too. A good healthy diet helps as well.
(Sorry if it seems like I am just rambling and being redundant.)
