    Doctors can't give you a accurate diagnosis of demodex.. there very hard to be seen even under there magnifier.

    cliradex is availble on amazon or their site - by the way mites are not proven according to my dr. i am using it and it works use it sparingly - break into 4 pieces - they have a video on their website to watch - you don't need that much product i found as i too have very sensitive eyes  - be careful don't rub too hard it burns just fan your eyes until it dry a minute or two - they have great reviews and the dr. recommended it and he is specialist in eyelids - it works well if used properly - let me know it is pricy so i find cutting it into 4 works best for me anyway

      That video on the cliradex website is rubbish.. it just shows a woman wiping her eye with the wipes! You say it works well if used properly.. but how possibly can you use them the wrong way?

    Hello. I tried tea tree and it made my eyes very bad - raw, red and sore.

      did you use it alone? not with no tears baby shampoo. did you keep your eyes closed, rince with room temp water?

      It was years ago so can't remember exactly but I didn't use it neat. Think I rubbed a drop of tea tree into non perfumed johnson's baby wash , rubbed the two liquids together & washed as I do normally - eyes closed but rubbing into lashes then rinse well with tepid water. I love tea tree as a rule but it was way too strong for my eye area. Good luck - hope you have success.
