    Hi kim

    What are your symptoms with it?

    A lot of people on here have been using wet ones wipes and eye massages.

    There a chloride in the wipes that kills off the infection.

    There's a poster on here called Lynda who knows a lot about it. If you look at some of the blepharitis threads on here you'll find loads of information

    Sorry you are living with this , too. I had it for months and thrilled to say it's being held at bay for now but I can tell it wants to bulge back.

    i went to 2 doctors. It's blepharitis , dry eye and an allergy to my feather quilt I use at night. Once I got rid of the quilt which had a duvet cover and cleaned like crazy it got better. But doctor prescribed allergy eye drops crazy $$$ . I used warm presses and those worked for awhile. I also use Vaesline all around my eyes. This works great for me. 

    I also make sure to wash my hands a lot and never touch my eyes without washing. It's such a pain to have to add another routine into my life.

    this just came out of the blue for me but I had it for months before it got so bad I needed a doctor.

    i am middle age not sure if that matters.
