There are a number of treatment options of Blepharitis, including:
- Eyelid wipes
- Warm compress
- Microblepharoexfoliation (BLEPHEX treatment)
Although warm compress and eyelid wipes at home are helpful, many people fail to perform the procedure properly or as regularly as needed. For this reason, a procedure called microblepharoexfoliation (BlephEx treatment) is recommended to supplement the home therapy in order to treat blepharitis more effectively.
Regular BlephEx™ treatment helps to reduce or eradicate the symptoms caused by blepharitis. Combined with home therapy, it can be performed every 4 to 6 months or as needed. Without regular home therapy, BlephEx™ treatment can be performed every 1 – 2 months or as needed.
You will be taught on lid hygiene after the treatment, to prevent blepharitis from occuring. Lubricating eye drops, steroid-antibiotic
combination eye drops and oral antibiotic can also aid in the treatment of blepharitis.
