What is blepharitis and how is it treated? 

I agree wholeheartedly. I am 63 and this has bothered me for years, but now my eyes are irritated and crusty every morning and two red rings around them. I happened by this accidentally and so glad .My tears constantly run down my sinuses and always have a clear watery drip. Especially in any cold, or wind or just all the time. I thought it could be possible that I might be allergic to the secretions produced by the microscopic eye mites….has your doctor mentioned this at all?

do you get any reflex tears ? Like while crying or cutting onion?

That's so interesting, thank you for the idea. I'm searching for a cure for my eyelid blepharitis currently. :(

@@normalpsychology glad to help! No one mentioned it to me at all. Once I started regularly treating my scalp, in addition to cleaning my eyelids, my flare ups stopped. I was waking up with red eyes every few weeks. I haven’t had a flare since June now when I started using Selsun Blue Medicated 2-3 times a week. I can usually tell when I need it because my scalp also starts to feel itchy. Try to refrain from touching your scalp then your face, especially when you need to wash your hair. And yes, you can get dandruff in your eyebrows and eyelashes!!! Make sure you let the shampoo sit in your hair a few minutes. Lather and scrub really well. I bought a rubber scalp brush from Amazon that I use to really scrub the oil and dandruff off my scalp.

@@normalpsychology also, after you wash your hair, blow dry it quickly. It’ll keep moisture from settling onto your scalp and help prevent more dandruff or infection. I used to go to bed with thick hair and a damp head. I stopped doing that.

@@jenniferwright9749 Thank you so much I love people like you so much

@@normalpsychology you’re welcome! Let me know how it goes!!

We're glad you liked it! Have a good day!

Meow gang True! I’ve had it for 6 years! Manage it though.

You have to manage it over time to keep it at bay. YO will still have it so should take daily care of it.

It does if you find the cause of it. Most people have a hard time doing that. I found out the cause of mine was scalp dandruff. Once I treated the scalp dandruff with medicated shampoo 2 to 3 times a week I stopped having eye irritation and blepharitis.

It waxes and wanes. But never completely corrects itself. I find contacts are easier on the skin surrounding my eyes

@@jenniferwright9749 hi. Can I ask you what dandruff shampoo do you use? I have this problem too. Thanks you

T pm

I agree, they don't tell you anything that's why i'm on RU-vid to do my own research.

@@GeneMoretti Same

Probably because they don't know. Most doctors are pretty ignorant and are only good for being a gateway to a specialist

Hi Sereima. Glad you liked it! Have a good day.

Please read my comments, above, if interested in a fast, inexpensive and very easy "cure".

@@janetpattison8474 I can't see your comment

@Stanley Moore Is blephoritis inflammation chronic or only with a flare there is inflammation ?

Get your thyroid checked.

@@bobby-jwells5115 thanks a lot, I will look for them!

I thought I had gotten rid of this, but I think not. At first my right eyelid would puff massively, red tint, and would be teary. Tried many things and they thought it was just a recurring stye when no! Blepharitis. The doctor suggested to use baby soap or tea tree oil. It helped out! Just washing my eyes everyday with it. Now all that annoyingly occurs is that my BOTH eyelids still puff up to the point where there’s no crease and itchy every now and then. Also try to do warm compress if you haven’t & eye drops. Right now idk if it’s my blepharitis or a stye that’s making my right eye uncomfortable, but I’m blaming the trigger on lashes/lash glue 😭😭 hope I was any help

@@soobincenterr Thankyou. I guess all we can do is keep trying and trying. Keep up the good fight. It really is so hard to keep one's eyelids clean. That glue is so hard to remove

I wondered this too as got my first attack for years after using castor oil on my eyelashes. It’s a very thick oil and maybe it clogged the ducts. I have stopped using it.

I searched cure blepharitis and found a video where they suggest dipping cotton bud in water then into runny honey..run the bud along eyelash top and bottom. I used it yesterday and am relieved no itching no crust no gunk ..I'm so happy please try and share. Good luck

@@madammax5342 What is runny honey?

Well you have honey that is set hard and runny honey is liquid form.

@@madammax5342 Was it Manuka honey at all? Which brand did you use? Thanks 😊

If you’ve tried lots, try drinking more water as dry eyes can also be the cause.

It's even worse in the UK. They use cleaners and janitors to treat you in the corridor because there's no healthcare staff.
