Blepharitis

The condition is an inflammation of the eyelids which may occur from irritations and allergies, insect bites, infections, etc. It may vary from a chronic, mild condition to a severe form with ulceration of the lids and damage to the eyes.

Itching, swelling, redness, scaling and crusting of the lashes often accompanied by styes and chalarions.

Our single most important recommendation is Eye Ease Formula, which is not eyedrops, but rather, nutritional support.

In addition:

• Avoid rubbing your eyes.
• Apply a warm, wet compress 3 to 4 times daily.
• Use a commercial lid "scrub" or baby shampoo on a cotton swab to wash the lids.
• See Drugs That Harm the Eyes for potentially harmful drugs.
