Aroma Season Blepharitis and How to Treat it

Blepharitis is an eye condition that affects the eyelids. It can produce clumping and stickiness around the eyelashes.
It is caused by inflammation around the base of the eyelashes. There is a range of treatments that can reduce symptoms, including home remedies.

In this article, we will explain what causes blepharitis, how it is treated, and how it can be prevented.

Blepharitis can affect anyone of any age and is classified as either acute or chronic; chronic adult blepharitis is the most common form. For most purposes, blepharitis means a chronic form of eyelid inflammation.

Fast facts on blepharitis
Here are some key points about blepharitis. More detail and supporting information is in the body of this article.
Blepharitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the area around the base of the eyelashes.
The underlying causes of chronic blepharitis are not well understood.
Blepharitis is not caused by poor hygiene.
The most obvious signs of blepharitis are redness and stickiness of the eyelid, with clumping of scaly skin around the base of the eyelashes.
Treatment aims to relieve symptoms, but cannot cure the condition.



 Treatment
Treatment for blepharitis normally includes medical and home treatment.

A doctor will recommend home treatment, as described below, but they can also carry out the following treatments:

Electrochemical lid margin debridement (BlephEx): This removes any mites, bacteria, and the biofilm that they create from the eyelids. It also opens any clogged Meibomian glands.

Thermal pulsation treatment (Lipiflow): This melts any material that is obstructing the Meibomian glands.

Intense pulse light therapy (IPL): This opens clogged eyelid glands.

Sometimes, severe cases of blepharitis may require antibiotics, either topical or oral.


Symptoms
Blepharitis can be anterior or posterior.

Anterior: This affects the front edge of the eyelid, where the eyelashes join it.

Posterior: This affects the inner edge of the eyelid, where it meets the eyeball.

The main symptoms are:

itchy eyelids.
red eyes.
irritated and watery eyes.
flaking and crusting at the base of the eyelashes, similar to dandruff.
burning or stinging eyes.
oversensitivity to light (photophobia).
gritty feeling in eyes and the sensation of having something in the eye.
Symptoms are often more pronounced in the mornings.

Blepharitis is not a sight-threatening problem, but it can result in decreased vision, which can come and go.

The symptoms of chronic blepharitis tend to come and go, with periods of remission (a pause in symptoms) followed by exacerbations (a flare-up). It usually affects both eyes equally.

Other conditions often appear with blepharitis, such as ocular rosacea, psoriasis, and seborrheic dermatitis.

Aroma Season Benefits of a Warm Compress or Mask for Your Eyes

图片
A warm compress can be really beneficial for giving yourself some relief from irritation, dryness, and redness in the eyes. There are a lot of reasons why your eyes may feel like that, including allergies, blepharitis, a sty, rosacea, dermatitis, conjunctivitis, sinusitis, viral infections, bacterial infections, wearing contact lenses, or even just tiredness. Hence, while a warm compress may provide you with relief, it is important that you do get your eyes checked out as well, to rule out the need for any prescription medication. The eyes are very delicate organs, and you have to pay close attention to them. If you experience discomfort, pain, vision disturbances, a feeling that something is in your eye, or any other form of irritation, you should get it checked out. A warm compress will probably not harm (it could if you have conjunctivitis and cross-contaminate yourself or others), which is why you can often use it alongside any prescription or over the counter medication. But it ...

Aroma Season Dry Eye Treatment: Getting Relief From Dry Eyes-3

图片
The following is a list of dry eye treatments that are commonly used by eye doctors to reduce the signs and symptoms of dry eyes. Your eye doctor may recommend only one of these dry eye treatments or a combination of treatments, depending on the cause(s) and severity of your condition. Successful treatment of dry eyes requires that you are willing to follow your eye doctor's recommendations and that you use the products he or she recommends consistently and as frequently as directed 7. Meibomian Gland Expression A very significant percentage of dry eye cases are caused by inadequate oil (meibum) being secreted from meibomian glands located along the margin of the eyelids. The openings of these glands are near the base of the eyelashes, and if these openings get clogged, the oil that is critical to keeping the tear film from evaporating too quickly cannot do its job. This is called meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), which leads to a condition called evaporative dry eye. To...
