Blepharitis Treatment
Blepharitis that actually clears.
Most blepharitis cases never fully resolve — patients are told to keep doing warm compresses indefinitely. We treat the source: bacterial biofilm and demodex.
What's actually happening
It's a biofilm, not just inflammation.
Blepharitis is chronic inflammation of the eyelid margin — and it almost always lives alongside a bacterial biofilm and, in many cases, demodex mites. Standard treatment (warm compress + lid scrub) softens the symptoms but rarely clears the source.
We use BlephEx microexfoliation to physically remove the biofilm, then targeted antimicrobials to keep it from coming back.
Sound familiar?
You've probably been told some of this.
Crusty lashes
Wake up with debris stuck along your lashes. Daily, no matter what.
Red lid margins
The edge of your eyelids is chronically red, even when eyes look fine.
Itchy, burning lids
Especially worse in the morning or after long hours awake.
Recurring styes
You keep getting them. Often a sign of underlying blepharitis.
Dry eye that won't resolve
Blepharitis and dry eye are linked. Treating one often improves both.
Warm compresses aren't enough
You've done them for months. Symptoms still there.
How we treat the source
Clear the biofilm. Skip the cycle.
Every blepharitis consult starts with a slit-lamp inspection of the lid margins and meibography (oil gland imaging). We look for biofilm, demodex, and meibomian gland involvement.
Then we treat: BlephEx microexfoliation (10 minutes, in-office), targeted antimicrobial cleanser at home, and follow-up in 6 weeks. Most patients see significant improvement within 2 treatments.
"I'd been doing warm compresses for two years with no real change. One BlephEx session and a different cleanser later, my lids look normal for the first time in forever."

A blepharitis-focused consult takes 30 minutes. Most patients leave with a real treatment plan, not "keep doing compresses."
