Blepharitis & Demodex Treatment
Relief for Itchy, Irritated, and Inflamed Eyelids
Blepharitis is a common condition that causes inflammation of the eyelid margins and can lead to redness, burning, irritation, crusting of the eyelashes, and fluctuating vision.
In many cases, blepharitis is associated with an overgrowth of Demodex mites, microscopic organisms that naturally live on the skin but can contribute to chronic eyelid inflammation when present in excessive numbers.
