Unfortunately, anterior blepharitis can contribute to ocular surface disease and even dry eyes. Thankfully blepharitis removal is now easier than ever because of the many eyelid cleaning products that are available. Below are the products I mention in this video.

I have had Blephritis since 2003. Flared up when I had tickets for a Dixie Chicks concert Went to the concert in agony. Red sore eyes. Next day saw eye doc and eye nurses told me Blephritis this is what you do It was Boil water three times a day use cotton bud and water cooled but still warm The warmth is important. Then clean eyelids bottom and top, also some eye drops After 3 weeks I went back much better. I was then told. Clean eyelids twice a day And given viscotears for dry eyes, so I have done this ever since. Had one flare up only When I had some antibiotic eye drops then back on the Viscotears. The eye test examiner says whatever you are doing keep on. This is my experience and you only have to buy cotton buds and use a kettle twice a day Egg cup full Thank you for reading. Good luck all.

@werm3169 Год назад

Pro tip for folks who wear eye makup: double cleanse! First cleanse should be oil based. It will break down even waterproof mascara and eyeliner. There are tons on the market, in the form of either a cleansing oil or a cleansing balm. If you don't have access to that, a plain, skin safe oil will do the job just fine (it's just harder to rinse off). No makeup wipe on the market can even hold a candle to the makeup removing abilities of an oil cleanser. Oil based cleansers usually don't have preservatives either (anhydrous products aren't ideal for bacterial proliferation), so there's no risk of preservatives harming the eye. The second cleanse should be your regular eye cleanser, and it's usually water based. This gets the very last bits of oil and debris off of your skin and eyes. You should use a regular cleanser on your whole face even if you used the oil cleanser on your whole face - again, will remove any oily residue and debris.

@jennyrose9454 Год назад

Yes! I used to get clogged me in onion glands all the time but I was not removing my make up well enough. Now I am careful about it and also throw away eye make up every 6 months at least.

I want to thank you for this very informative video! I have been suffering yearly for well over 8 years years with styes during the fall season, always assuming I had had something irritate my my eye seasonally like an allergy. I sometimes had them occur following my yearly eye appointment. My eye doctor gave no help other than hot compresses and told me it was caused by “dandruff” on my eyelids and to use wipes. This year I had 2 very long lasting and painful styes, one in each in eye and decided to seek a better solution than hot compresses and weeks of painful enlarged lids. I found the over-the-counter acid spray product you demonstrated at my local pharmacy and within 2 days miraculous results and relief. 🙏🏻

Thanks to your videos I found out about eye testing for dry eyes and through some of the links I was able to setup an appointment in my area! I was feeling completely hopeless the day I found that link and my appointment is tomorrow. I hope to get more definitive information through testing at a Dry Eye Center tomorrow so I can come up with a new eye routine that hopefully will give me better quality of life. Your videos are AMAZING!

@elizabeththunstedt6186 2 года назад

@UCyVSTFJpcKtWWgs0LJsOVsQ tea tree essential oil. With the face wash mixed in, it become similar to the shampoo in the video. The benefit to the way I do it is price and you can adjust the amount of oil used. My eye doctor uses pure oil, nothing to dilute it out. I found this to be to intense.

@mechkitten 2 года назад

I stopped using baby shampoo since it uses sodium lauyrl sulfate, which is very drying. The skin around your eye is very thin and can become pretty flaky. The Hydrating Cleanser from Cerave is gentle and does not sting my eyes. The foaming version is probably fine, but suds require more water to rinse out and I want to avoid excess friction around my eyes.

@mechkitten 2 года назад

But spray foams are okay since they are at already maximum lather. It's the SLS that keeps lathering up that it takes a lot of scrubbing to get it fully out.

Glad for the product knowledge. I suffer with pretty harsh (feels like to me) dry eye. My ophthalmologist never mentioned eyelash health, cleaning techniques, products... nothing. I even asked if something about my routine or diet or something could help. Nothing but eyedrops. Was having to use eye drops about 5-6 times a day for a while (more than ever). Saw your video about stimulating the meibomian glands. That's helped reduce the number of times I have had to use eye drops already by about half. Now that I think about it, it seems to eye drops just contributed to more dryness.

Same here, my eye doctor laughed at me and gave me a coupon for some eyedrops! This is good info that I've never heard before.

It’s also prevented stinging that I would occasionally get from putting drops in, which I assume was caused by some remnant skin cream or oil. I’ve never tried really rubbing at the base of the eyelashes, though. Would a Q-tip wetted with Avenova be a safe tool to begin with? Okay on the waterline, too?

@igenr8 2 года назад

Me too on the Avenova on all counts

@G1m2121 Год назад

Yes, thank you doctor! I have now become so afraid of using eye drops due to the non preservative eye drops that caused vision loss & death. Do you have any idea how we can maybe avoid this in the future? Anyway, I prefer gels as well. I use GenTeal gel for dry eyes. I also stopped using eye wash & now use distilled water on a cotton ball after sleeping & before using anything else. Thank you.

Dr Allen, I’m a little stunned how you knew I’ve been having this problem for about 3 weeks now! Who Knew, Blepharitis! I’m gonna try one of the topical treatments you recommended and Thank You for taking the time to explain something that must be common but honestly I’ve worked in healthcare for 36 yrs and never heard of this condition! I guess it’s time to start using the dry eye drops I was given too. Dr Allen, You’re a Godsend! Keep Doing What You Do!

Dr Allen, RU-vid just notified me that you responded to my comment 2 months ago. Thought you’d like to know that after using a generic CVS brand of eye wipes with Tea Tree Oil for about a week along with Dry Eye drops still daily, my condition has gone away. Now I pay more attention to washing my eyelids everyday. Great DX and even better Remedy💯 Thank You and Blessings Dr A!

I use my face soap to clean my eyelids/lashes. Since I have sensitive skin, I use a product that has worked great around the eyes. My favorite has been the All About Clean foaming cleanser from Clinique.

Seems like I can’t ever truly get it under control. Wondering if eyeliner or eye pencils should be avoided? I do wash my face every night. I do eyelid scrubs when I can but have been using Baby Shampoo! I will need to try some of the products you suggested. I have a question in regard to the eyelid spray. Do you still need to scrub/wash your lashes? Or do you simply spray? I will be checking out your links. Thank you for all the information!!! 😊😌

@barbnbirds 2 года назад

Thank you dr Allen.Ive learned alot from you.I use the Eye Love Heydrate .I used the Avenova and i had to return it as 15 mins after it my eye lids burned.As ive said before i had Blepharitis and was really not using the best hygiene.As a result , i got this very bad Blepharitis which resulted in bad dry eye. I had trouble with doxycycline and alot of prescription drops and salves.I used baby shampoo too.Then finially after a while my dry eye started getting better.I was told to drink more water too after a blood test showed i was also dehydrated. Then suddenly almost overnight i woke up and my eyes were somewhat out of focus and glare started to bother me.I was convinced that the Blepharitis had hurt my corneas. Then i moved up to NH near my son in feb. of 2022, still obsessing over my out of focus distance vision. I finially found a nice optometrist here to go for my new eye exam and glasses. I told her I thought my mild vision blurred vision was that the dry eye and Blepharitis hurt my corneas.She did a big exam and took xrays of my eyes i never had before.She said it takes the place of having your eyes dilated and is much much better and the dr can have a record of your xrays.So i opted to get the xrays. After all that she said she was pleased with the xrays and said i had a couple of little freckles, but were okay.She then told me the vision issue i told her about were little cataracts. I told her i had them since 2009 .She said they just started probably to bother me after all those yrs. I might just go to a cornea specialist just as a second opinion to stop my obsessing and put it to bed, so to speak, but i love my new optometrist here in NH @ My Eye Dr.I love watching you too and would like to get the NUs if that is safe for me to use.I also use the Systane Hydration preservative free.TY dr. Allen love to follow you👍

I always recommend warm wet cleaning with cotton. Procedure is pour a cotton in hot water and let them allow to warm or bearable for touch on the skin and then with clean hand fingers gently clean lashes of both eyes.

@louiseanderson1505 5 месяцев назад

Yep I hold the hot cloth to my eye till the heat dissipates then hold the cloth in hot water again and squeeze out and hold it on my eye and repeat up to 10 times. Never been troubled with it since. The heat is key to melting away and unclogging the tiny microscopic pores on the eyelids of oil that has built up over time.

@karendolan7592 2 года назад

I have recurring dry eye that I can keep under control if I do the things my doctor recommended every day. I drops, eyelid hygiene ... I use hydrochlorous acid on a cotton pad 1x a day ... and a heated eye mask. My mask is rechargeable, really makes a difference in how my eyes feel plus the warmth helps me fall asleep quicker! I love it.

I work with an Ophthalmologist as her scribe, and yesterday we saw a dry eye patient who just refuses to stop wearing eye makeup. She tried lots of methods including Xiidra and even Restasis on a TID routine. She's not doing warm compresses because she felt they were irritating, she barely does the Avenova. IPL wouldn't even be a recommendation for her. We've pretty much gone through everything for her, but she, and I quote, "is a woman and has to look pretty."

I wasn't able to wear eye makeup for the last 15 years because I couldn't see too put it on. Developed dry eye around 2016. Still not wearing eye makeup then. I just had cataract surgery. Can see my eye lashes for the first time in years. Now I wear make up every day. The is no difference in my condition. Don't blame it on make up. Maybe on hygiene but wearing make up didn't change a thing about my eyes. So glad to be able to see again. Like a new lease on life!

Three times a day I use optase spray close my eyes and spray onto my eye lids leave for a minute and pat dry with a different tissue for each eye. I also use eye lash brushes to remove any dandruff like material before I apply any treatments I purchase in bulk from Amazon . I can’t wear eye makeup as my eyelashes are spars since Blepharitis. I also change my pillow case daily. I have autoimmune diseases and my optician says that my weak immune system could be a factor.

I think you mean glaucoma. (There's no eyedrops for cataracts.) The glaucoma eyedrop is what causes eyelashes to grow. That's why they turned it into a eyelash growth treatment called Latisse. Now you probably still have cataracts also which is why you can't see to drive at night.

I've suffered from this since 79, constantly having to have Cysts cut and cleaned out, I was a frequent flyer at my local eye clinic in the local hospital. I put it down to driving a Bus, the air coming from the windscreen demisters is not going throw a Pollen Filter as it is in a car, so getting dust into my eyes constantly. Now I'm retired the symptoms have ceased completely, I did all the cleaning regimes but nothing worked.

@elsullo2 2 года назад

Wow, very timely! I turned seventy just as Covid arrived and so skipped a year at the eye doctor. My eyes often felt "gummy" but I thought it was just natural aging, so full of rude surprises. So, I finally had an eye exam and found out that I had a bacterial infection of the glands of the eyelid edges, which produce a bit of "eye grit" and that need a month of hypochlorous acid cleaning to get rid of! Plus more regular ordinary face cleaning---old retired bachelors let hygine issues lag! The best deal I found was the "Ocusoft Clean n' Spray kit" over the counter at any large pharmacy. Normally I would not buy any pharmacy item with "n' " in the name, but you get a bunch of eye cleaning wipes that you rinse off, and a big two ounce spray bottle of antiseptic that you leave in while you sleep. I will use it every other month, and the wipes are just very thick and convenient...............................elsullo
