How do you cure blepharitis?
828368
Blepharitis is inflammation of the eyelids. It is characterized by flaky debris at the eyelash bases. Blepharitis usually causes redness of the eyes and itching and irritation of the eyelids in both eyes. Its appearance is often confused with conjunctivitis and due to its recurring nature it is the most common cause of "recurrent conjunctivitis" in older people. It is also often treated as 'dry eye' by patients due to the gritty sensation it may give the eyes - although lubricating drops do little to improve the condition.\n\nMany forms of treatment will improve blepharitis, including both antibiotic or steroid eye drops, and certain oral antibiotics. Unfortunately it will usually recur when any treatment is ceased. Most doctors will therefore recommend a regime of daily eyelid cleaning which is both effective and can be continued safely long-term. Such a regime needs to be convenient enough to be continued lifelong, otherwise the cleaning will stop when symptoms subside. Therefore simply cleaning the eyelids with a face cloth during every bath or shower may be a good system for a sufferer to adopt. Using dilute baby shampoo to assist with this is often advised, although probably the most important factor is the mechanical clearance of discharge from the eyelid meibomian glands. Massaging the eyelids firmly during cleaning helps this.\n\nDermatologists treat blepharitis similarly to seborrheic dermatitis by using safe topical anti-inflammatory medication like sulfacetamide or brief courses of a mild topical steroid. Although anti-fungals like ketoconazole (Nizoral) are commonly prescribed for seborrheic dermatitis, dermatologists and optometrists usually do not prescribe anti-fungals for seborrheic blepharitis-.

Hi MakeEver\n\nHere is a testimonial and an idea on how to heal the issue.\n\nGlaucoma Disappears: I have a friend who had had eight major surgeries. She lived in constant pain, very seldom was she able to go places and her physician had told her their was nothing more they could do. \n\nShe went on Dr. Christopher's Three Day Cleanse and Mucusless Diet. She started on herbs to cleanse the colon,the blood Cayenne, Calc tea, Yucca AR, Herbal Eyebright, etc. In a matter of about three weeks, her pain was gone. She was able to start living again. In about 3 or 4 months her arthritis left her. \n\nShe had had glaucoma for 13 years. Her glaucoma medicine was making her ill, so she went to her eye specialist. He tested her and said there is not even a trace of glaucoma left. There is virtually no cure for glaucoma, how did you do it. Her reply was thru herbs and diet. She was told whatever it is, don't stop it. He took her off her glaucoma medication, and a special pair of glasses. She now tells me her eyes have improved so much that she can now watch TV without glasses, which she never before had done. She started on this program less than a year ago. Her dark brown eyes are now turning green. She has a ways yet to go, but she is really living again. She is a composer and this past holiday season, had a Christmas Album published. \n\n\nBest of health to both of you\n\nCheers

just mix a little boric acid (found in drugstores) with some warm water in a cup and then flush your eye with it. it always works right away and soothes it. Also don't worry it doesn't burn.

For tired or puffed eyes, place a cotton pad soaked in chilled rose water. Keeping thin slices of cucumber ready in the refrigerator beforehand is ideal. \n\nGrated cucumber, by itself or mixed with carrot juice, can be spread under the eye, to reduce black circles and sagging skin.

No, it can't be cured in the real sense of the term. U can get relieved of the symptoms, can at best also stall inflammation, but can't reverse the damage done. Beware of steroids being given to u in name of 'ayurveda', beacuse they work wonderfully initially, but as u withdraw, the condition worsens much more. And anyway long-term treatment has many side-effects- increased chance of glaucoma, weight gain, gynecomastia (development of breast tissue in males), hair loss, diabetes, hypertension, heart attcak, etc.

Try a slice of cucumber over each eye while soaking in a warm bath or while just relaxing in the evening.  You can also try a moisturizer or replenishing lotion such as Aveeno.

Lack of sleep, allergies, too much salt or alcohol and harsh environmental conditions can result in sleepy, irritated eyes. Eye gel packs and cucumber based gels and pads work great, but if you need a quick "de-puff" you may only have to reach as far as the fridge or medicine cabinet: \n\n* Slice of Life Throw on a couple of cool cucumber slices on your eyes and relax for a few. Cucumbers are loaded with nutrients including Vitamin C and will add an instant freshness to your face. \n\n* "Eyes" Tea Soothe with the healing power of Chamomile or Herbal Tea bags. Dip the tea bags in cold water and place on your eyes for about 15-20 minutes. \n\n* Potato Your Peepers Boiled not baked. Let it cool off till it's slightly warm. Slice and place on your eyes. Potatoes contain a high content of starch, which reduces puffiness and redness. \n\n* Witchy Woman Soak a couple of cotton pads in Witch Hazel and place on the eyes for about 15 minutes to reduce inflamed eyelids and help lighten dark circles. \n\n* A Little Preparation Who Knew! Dabbing on a small amount of Preparation H shrinks the baggage under your eyes too. (Hey, beauty pageant queens do it!) Just be careful not to get it in your eyes. \n\nYou can also dive in your make-up bag for a quick cure. Applying a white liner or shadow in the crease of your eyelids will instantly widen the appearance of your eyes. If you want to diminish dark circles apply a concealer that has an orange tint, this will neutralize the blue that makes you look sleepy. \n\nHere's a list of suggested products that will brighten up tired eyes. \n\nHydra-Firming Eye Gel with elastisome®\nLocks in 40% more moisture all day!\nFind out more, click here. \n\nAlpha Hydrox Multi-Performance Therapy Cream With the help of antioxidants and alpha-hydroxy acids diminishes puffiness and dark circles under the eyes.

A hot compression helps in stye.\n\nThis is how you should do it:\nBoil some water in a beaker for about 7 to 10 mins. Then allow it to cool till its 'luke warm'. \nTake some cotton balls(sterelized if possible).\ndip a cotton ball and clean the lid margins. throw away the used cotton ball and take another one. again dip it in warm water and gently put it on the stye. \nkeep applying for about 10-15 mins. \ndont forget to change the cotton frequently to avoid infection.\nDO NOT USE anything that is not sterile or clean (e.g., a gold ring) \nDO NOT apply eye make up till the stye is subsided.\nwear a protective goggle when you are out.\nDO NOT touch the stye as this may transfer the bacteria from your hands to the infected site and the stye may flur up.\n\nBye, and take care\nZubin Jiwani (M.Optom.)\nOptometrist

ouch that isnt good.  Acupuncture could clear that out.  There are needles, (not in the duct) that can dislodge the obstruction.  Otherwise, you a heat compress on the eye 4 times a day.  You can use a de-shelled hardboiled egg or a soaked chamomille tea bag.

... there is a simple way.\nTake cotton wet it with cold milk and keep it over your closed eyes (eyelids) for about 5 minutes.
