If you are diagnosed with chronic blepharitis, an ongoing regimen of eyelid hygiene is recommended. We often prescribe over-the-counter lid scrubs such as Ocusoft. Eyelid hygiene is the cornerstone of treatment for most cases of blepharitis.
Besides a program of eyelid hygiene, supplemental treatment with topical and oral medicine can be helpful.
We also recommend nutritional supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids, such as flaxseed oil, to aid healthy function of meibomian glands that provide essential lubrication for eye and eyelid comfort.
