Recently diagnosed with Blepharitis

Hi, i used wet wipes and my eyes improved for a while then I seemed to react to the wet wipes as they are very strong so I changed to ord facial wipes and my eyes returned to their previous improvement. Lately I've been using tea tree wipes from Sainsbury's and my eyelids are very comfortable. Ultimate hygiene has been the key for me and observing daily what is happening with my eyes and analysing the cause of and eyelid twitching or irritation. The twitching on the edge of my eyelids is caused by a build up of oil from the glands which appear as tiny lumps at the base of some eye lashes. I then know to pay extra attention to the heat treatment and wiping the eyelashes firmly afterwards which squeezes out the tiny drops of cloudy oil. I'm affected by white light particularly but have been helped by an antiglare coating on my glasses, so concerts, theatres, shops and home lighting isn't so uncomfortable. I still wear my Polaroid sun glasses occasionally. The sensitivity is indiscriminate and unpredictable but I'm now on top of it. I take 6000mgs of omega 3  per day and this helps with the oil flow and inflammation. If I reduce the dose my eyes start twitching within three days.

I feel good today as I've showered, hair wash, blow dry, eye treatment and light makeup in less than an hour...I'm off to an art class and lunching out afterwards. Life is good.....I just have to get out of bed early enough to allow time to do it all comfortably. Lol

sorry to hear of your diagnosis. Im glad you joined the forum as Id be optimistic it will help. People are generous at sharing their experiences and things that have helped them. Im fighting this battle since last April and I am exasperated as my lower lids have been destroyed by demodox mites. Im using cliradex wipes since last Oct and following a strict cleaning regime. Also taking flaxi capsules plus Omega 7 Seabucthorn oil. Recently Ive added Lagad Lacrima which I think have made an additional improvement. They are supposed to promotote making tears which alleviate the severe dryness. Thankfully ive gone from chronic dry eye and drops every half hour to drops 2 or 3 times a day but its the physical appearance of my eyelids and lashes that upset me a lot.. Im still remaining hopeful cos if we give up hope we have nothing so hopefully  some item or product will come out that could help my lower eyelids and lashes. I miss my eye makeup however on the rare occasion I put some mascara on very carefully. I agree with Pamela, the cleaning regime combined with taking your supplements are vital.

Keep in touch and hopefully we can all help each other...

yes,i have to wear makeup as well,i learned to stay away from eyeliners and mascara and the color black. I learned on here from a nice girl who said she just uses shadow as her liner and puts it on the top of lid,it works! good luck window.post_1483966490181_3 = function(win,msg){

I am quitting my job due to my appearance.  As a flight attendant people think I have a contagious disease.  I may have to try disability because I can't wear makeup and I look like a zombie.

An allergy in which case study Eyelergy drops
