i have had BLEPHARITIS for nearly two years and tried many treatments. Also followed the forum for advice. Recently I have been not so red eyed by having a good thorough cleaning routine. Eyes drops, blephargeL and wet wipes morning and night.  Some days my vision is very blurry. During a recent eye test it showed my vision had NOT deteriation. However some days are difficult with bluriness , shadows around objects and light sensitive.

on my last consultant visit I asked him about the blurriness

He pressed my eyeball till it hurt and said you have a lot of gel in your eye and must massage it in more. So now I add heat pads and massage to my daily routine. My vision concerns me.

does any one else experience this?

also recently someone posted about low dosage anti biotics long term as a treatment. Has anyone on the forum had this and  experienced success?

    My specialist told me to wash eyes with warm water for 10 minutes and put warm compress on eyes and use moisturizing drop called refresh optive advanced.

      I keep going to doctors. Very frustrating. I did read that doxycilan is sometimes used to thin the oils if its too thick. If thats the caus. If anything new works,or if your symptoms get better please post. I will too. Xx

    I lost some vision after blepharitissymtomps show up. The doctor says that lost vision should come back to you once you take care of symptoms but my vision does not seem to come back.

    Does anyone have the same experience?

      Regular vision loss due to blepharitis.

      My doctor said it's due to blepharitis but my eyesight decreased once in every 3months for past 6 months. And no matter what my vision doesn't come back.

      I don't know how worse my eyesight will eventually be.

      I was reading usually something like that involves the cornea. Are you on an antibotic? Doxcyciline,you might want to ask about being on one.Xx

      Doctor was optahmologist. I honestly don't know what to do anymore.

      I can't see any doctor anytime soon because I'm having problem with ny insurance.

      I just hope my eyesight stops getting worse.
