Information about Blepharitis

Blepharitis is swelling or inflammation of the eyelids, usually where the eyelash hair follicles are located. It is common with children and adults. It is easily managed, but needs continual treatment to be effective.
  • The simplest method of treating blepharitis is to rub a small amount of solution onto the eyelashes (with your eyes closed) for about 15 to 20 seconds for each eye, twice a day.
  • Make sure that you rinse the eyes clean afterward.
  • Continue this procedure daily for about one week, then about 2 days per week thereafter.
  • Your eyes should feel much more comfortable afterward, although it is important to continue this treatment twice per week to remain symptom-free.
  • Stopping this treatment will result in a return of the condition, since the bacteria that cause the condition are very common on the skin and eyelids and will return.
If your eyes are not feeling better after a week or two of the treatment, you should return to your optometrists for further treatment or advice.
