Blepharitis is a common and persistent inflammation of the eyelids, often resulting from blocked oil glands near the base of the eyelashes. This condition can lead to red, swollen, itchy eyelids, and dandruff-like scales on the eyelashes. Blepharitis can affect anyone of any age, and its exact cause can vary, including factors such as skin conditions, bacterial infections, or allergies. Despite being uncomfortable and not always completely curable, it can be managed effectively with the right care, significantly reducing its symptoms and preventing further complications such as dry eye or even potential damage to the cornea.

Our clinic specializes in the comprehensive management of blepharitis, offering personalized treatment plans to alleviate symptoms and address the root cause of the inflammation. Treatments may include gentle eyelid hygiene practices to remove oil, bacteria, and debris from the lid and lash area, warm compresses to unclog oil glands, and specific medications or eyelid scrubs recommended by our eye care professionals. In some cases, we might also suggest changes in diet or supplements to support overall eye health.
