Won't go away!!!

Hi Imogen, I also take 6000mgs of Omega3 capsules after reading about the benefits experienced by patients taking part in a clinical trial. I also take Fexofenadine 180mg 1 tablet per day. I have chronic rhinitis so I was taking ceterazine for years before the Bleph kicked in after which my doctor changed me to Fexofenadine. 

I havent tried blephagel yet but yet but may in the future if nothing else helps. The Bleph wipes make my eyes swell. It's really a case of seeing what works for you.

Some folk find tea tree oil mixed with another light oil helps dry flaky eyelids and itchy eyelash base, others find a facial steamer soothing.

Different things help at different times. I hope you find your formula soon. Best wishes, Pamela 

Hi!

I'm 23 and a similar situation except had this a few years now and like others have said it takes a while to find your solution.

The key is consistency with whatever you try. If something works don't stop doing it because the symptoms have gone.

I tried wet ones which worked well but not for long as it came back.

I take anti histamines if I get a flare up

Now I use tea tree oil baby shampoo and water mix twice daily and symptoms are so reduced I can wear mascara for the first time in 2 years.

I also bought a natural mascara as I found high street brands (guessing the chemicals) made my eyes worse.

Stick to whatever you try for a few weeks and you will find something that works I'm sure!

There's alot more to it than that ! The hot compresses , if not followed by expressing the " bad" goo from the glands , is a total waste of time . Cleaning the eye rims and especially over the area of the gland openings afterwards is ESSENSIAL .  One needs to keep the natural oils flowing , get the old gunk out of the glands then cleaned away ASAP . Expressing and cleansing 4 times per day should hopefully catch the bugs in between their breeding periods ( as I believe they only live a few days ) and keep the infected material and "baby bugs " washed away .

I tried the wet ones and made things worse . We're covered in bacteria , good and bad , and by trying to eradicate the big "baddies " I probably destroyed all bacteria allowing the worst bacteria back before the safe bacterias .

My anterior blepth cured itself in time but then became posterior blepth ( very dry eyes , sporadic gland functioning , but little or no mess )

 

The Wet Ones have helped my eyes become less irritated and red.  They also have taken away the oily crud that was always at my lashline even after using the Steirlid cleanser religously.  I still have thickened eyelids because my bleph went undiagnosed by my optometrist for years.  I wore contacts and thought my eyes were dry due to them.  The opthamologist I later visited saw my problem in 30 seconds, but the lids are permanently damaged as far as I can tell.  When I asked the dr., she said probably it was permanent.  My eyes will never look normal again unless someone somewhere finds a cure.  In the meantime, the Wet Ones have helped the most.

I think alot of us have anterior and posterior bleph that hasnt been diagnosed. Guess its quite common to have both. I do. Although my posterior is worse then the outside anterior bleph. Anyone not having sucess my want to be rechecked for both. Although i have a heck of a time. Sick of Blepharitis period! Xx

Thyis is a very uncomfortable condition.  Has your doctor pescribed and eye ointments??  I have an ointment to use for a month and I am also taking an alergy tablet.  I getting relief now but when I have a bad day, I have to turn the lights off in my office because my eyes become very light sensitive.  Hope you can find some relief.

 

I cured mine.

Anyone tryed avenova wipes ? Or occusoft plus. They both get rave reviews if you google product nane plus customer reviews!
