Do I have Blepharitis?

What is Blepharitis?

Blepharitis is the inflammation of the eyelids, causing redness, itching, and irritation. It occurs due to excess bacteria along the eyelid edges and can affect anyone. We can use a microscope to capture a photo of your eyelashes to show blepharitis. Crusty eyelids, often referred to as “bak sai” or “yan shi,” are a common symptom of this condition.

Blepharitis is inflammation of the eyelids which become red, itchy and irritated. This is due to the overgrowth of bacteria along the lid margins

Eyelash extensions and blepharitis

Eyelash extensions are attached to your eyelashes. It's important to wash them daily with a special lid wipe for hygiene. Without this, bacteria and mites can grow, leading to toxins that may cause eyelid inflammation (blepharitis).

What is Demodex?

Demodex is a mite in eyelash follicles that consumes skin oil. Research indicates that 44% of blepharitis patients have Demodex which increases with age.

allergies can be due to dust mites or dermodex. We use tea tree oil to kill the mites and the dermodex on the eyelashes. Eye drops would not work for the dust mites.
