Blepharitis treatment

Blepharitis is chronic inflammation of the eyelid margins, and it is one of the most common reasons eyes feel gritty and burn every morning. It does not resolve on its own, but a consistent lid routine plus in-office treatment keeps it quiet.

What's Involved

Lid margin evaluation — Examination of the lash line and meibomian glands to identify which form you have.
In-office treatment — Lid cleaning and gland expression to clear the blockage a home routine cannot reach.
Home routine — A warm compress and lid hygiene plan you can actually keep up with.

When to Come In

Crusted lashes in the morning — Flaking or sticky debris along the lid margin.
Persistent burning or itching — Irritation that comes back as soon as you stop treating it.
Recurrent styes — Repeat blocked glands on the same lid.
