Anyone that was diagnosed with blepharitis? What were your symptoms?

Also everytime I clean my eyelashes in the morning my eyelashes are starting to fall . I see at least 2 or 3 lashes on my rag.

Dear Gabriela,

I have had several people tell me that their lashes grew back in when they used the Wet Ones, antibacterial handwipes.

It took me 3 months to kill it with these wipes. It is the Benzethonium Chloride that does the trick.

Only people who are allergic to shampoo, detergents, handwipes, lanolin or fabric softeners should not use these. They have sensitive skin.

If you don't why not give them a try. My husband and brother have Blepharitis now and use the wipes and they said they could tell the difference in one day.

There are various symptoms with Blepharitis. I had the horrible itching and some had the oily problem and that affects the vision. Some have little white bumps and some scaly stuff.

Sandra told me that someone used it on her dog who was going to be put to sleep as eye problem was so bad and the wipes helped the dog too.

Blepharitis is often a staphylococcus infection. These wipes kill that.

You can wear mascara and kill it at the same time. That involves using throw away mascara wands. Use 1 for each eye in a new mascara and never put a used one into the mascara. That goes for all makeup around the eyes.

I threw out and started all over.

If you would like more info let me know. This works for about 80% of people.

Your lashes will grow back in too. One girl had this for 20 years and the doctor said they probably would not grow back in. She used the wipes US Wet Ones with .3% Benzethonium Chloride in them and she said she gets compliments on her lashes now.

Wish you well soon,

Gabriela - I have had blepharitis for years. I also have Glaucoma and that disease is a snap comparted to blepharitis.  My symptoms started with excessive tearing in each eye.  I had my tear ducts checked and they were ok.  It was terrible.  I couldn't wear makeup because it would run down my face.  I was constantly dabbing at my eyes.  Eventually, my glands looked swollen and my Doctor then made the diagnosis of Blepharitis.  I was told to soak my eyes with warm compresses morning and night.  I have a steriod I use once a month and I also use anti-biotic ointments at night a coupld of times a week.  During the day, I use just regular refresh drops for comfort.  I also bought a mask with the little beads in them and heat in the microwave and use that on my eyes each day.  That is a lot easier for me than doing the warm compresses.  Through the years, my years go from blurry to clear.  I never know how they will be.  If they are blurry then I really have to start doctoring them.  I wash them twice a day and I use  eye washes called Ocu-Wash from Wal-Mart.  They are opthamologist tested and are really very good.   If your doctor would give you a steriod to use from time to time, you would notice a big difference.  It cuts down on inflamation and irritation and your eyes feel really good.  You just can't use it everyday.  Just ever now and then.  I wish you good luck.  I know your pain.  I had to end up putting tubes in my eyes for the tearing and since that takes off the tears completely, then I have even more problems from that.  We took one out in one eye and I may do that in the other.  Don't know yet.  I do feel that when I come back on the compueter my eyes get worse and more blurry.
