Blepharitis cannot always be cured, but it can be controlled. Most people will experience a waxing and waning of this condition. Changes in the climate can often trigger changes in blepharitis (for better or worse). Medication, particularly antibiotics, can provide temporary relief. Your physician can recommend the combination of treatments that are right for you.
Once your eye doctor has diagnosed blepharitis, the most important treatment to control it is a daily cleansing routine for the eyelids.
Artificial tears can be a helpful addition to your blepharitis treatment routine.
Medication can be used in conjunction with other treatments to control the symptoms of blepharitis.
