Blepharitis is a common condition that causes inflammation of the eyelid or eyelids. 👁
There are 2 main causes for blepharitis:
One is from blockages to the oil glands around the lower waterline along the eyelashes. 🚫
The other is usually from an excessive amount of bacteria or Demodex mites along the lash line. 🐛
Blepharitis is common, but there is no cure. It is a chronic condition that can only be treated when a flare up happens.
The most successful treatment of symptoms involves an eye-safe cleanser that removes excess oils and kills bacteria around the eyes and waterline. 🧼
