@eyedropshop: If your eyes are constantly itchy, irritated, crusty in the morning, or feel like there is debris on your lashes no matter what you do, it might not just be dry eye 👀 It could be Demodex blepharitis, a common condition caused by tiny mites living around the eyelashes that trigger inflammation, redness, flaking, and worsening dry eye symptoms! At home treatment options include:
- zocular lid wipes 
- Warm compresses to support oil gland function and improve tear quality
- Lid hygiene sprays and wipes to remove debris and bacteria - Clean pillowcases often (they rely on human skin and sebum to survive. Don't let your pillowcases become a second home to them)
- Artificial tears to help soothe irritation and dryness In office treatment options include:
- BlephEx for deep cleaning of the eyelid margins and removal of biofilm and debris
- IPL and radiofrequency to reduce inflammation and improve meibomian gland function (an overabundance of demuxed mites can trigger an immune response in people with rosacea) - Meibomian gland expression to help unclog blocked oil glands
- Prescription drops that directly target Demodex mites Many people struggle for years thinking it is allergies or simple dry eye. A proper eye exam can change everything👍 #demodex #blepharitis #dryeye #optometrist #eyecare @Dr. C | Optometrist 🧿
