BLEPHARITIS Treatment at Home – 3 Blepharitis Home Remedy Tips

If you have ever had red, itchy, dry or irritated eyes a frequent cause of this is something called blepharitis but thankfully there are easy ways to treat blepharitis at home with just using a few simple steps. So, in this video, I’m going to be sharing my three top tips for blepharitis treatment at home. So hit that like button and let’s take a look. Hey, what’s up guys Dr. Joseph Allen here from the Dr Eye Health show thanks so much for joining us and thank you to Eye Love for sponsoring today’s video by sending us out some products to share with you guys as well as for making eye health education possible.

Now when it comes for treatment of blepharitis the following is a combination of what most eye doctors will talk about and the first thing on our list is that of warm compresses.

Now if you’ve ever watched.

The Dr Eye Health show before you know that we’ve shared a lot of tips about doing warm compresses  but warm compresses help for blepharitis because it helps soften up the hard eyelid crusts that  have built up on the eyelashes as well as heat up the oil glands within the eyelid called the  Meibomian glands and this helps melt any of the solidified waxy oils that are trapped in  there and allows them to run smoother.

Now if you’ve never done a warm compress before there are many ways to do it but research has shown that using some form of a hearable eye mask is most effective and that’s exactly why lot of eye clinics will sell hearable eye masks like the medieval mask here. Mainly because it holds the right amount of heat for a long enough time  and you easily just put it in the microwave for about 20 seconds and then you put it into the  washable mask cover which is honestly a pretty nice tip because if you do these over and over  you can build up eyelid crust and skin oils onto the back of the mask and to have something that’s  washable is kind of a nice thing. But otherwise, when it’s warmed up you just put the eyelid mask resting over your closed eyelids for about 10 to 15 minutes and honestly for myself. I find them very relaxing. Some doctors do also advocate for doing a vertical eyelid massage following a warm compress to help express any of those clogged Meibomian glands and if you’re not really sure how to do that I do have an instructional video on that I encourage you to check out if you do want to follow up with that extra step.

Now after doing warm compresses, it’s important to follow up doing eyelid scrubs using a wet washcloth and some form of an eyelid safe and healthy eyelid detergent and the Eye Love of brand here has their hydrate foaming tea tree and face wash which you can technically just put on your fingers and put directly onto your lashes and your eyelids,.

I personally still like to use a wet washcloth just to kind of really scrub along that lash line and break up any of the dead skin cells scales and oils that can build up and cake into those lashes. Alternatively you can also try the pre-moistened eyelid wipes which over  time I’ve honestly become more of a fan of mainly because it’s so simple to use you simply have to  tear it open remove the eyelid wipe you wrap the eyelid wipe around your finger and then you just  have to scrub along the eyelid and your eyelashes. I think the eyelid wipes are definitely the most  convenient because you can take them with whatever you want like if you’re traveling or something  they do help with removing eye makeup and at least with this Mediviz brand you don’t have to wash off  anything afterwards.

Now the third step and is really great for anybody with very sensitive skin or having chronic long-lasting blepharitis tissues is that of using something thing that’s very popular amongst eye doctors and that’s of using hypochlorous acid.

Which is a naturally occurring and safe disinfectant. Now Eye love has their hydrate lid and lash cleanser here which is  a simple spray that works as a great cleanser and it can be used multiple times a day you just spray  it on leave it dry you have no need to rinse it off and it doesn’t cause any burning or stinging  which is super nice now of course there are many different products on the market for cleaning  and taking care of the eyelids but of course in today’s video we did feature products from the.

I love company which if you’ve never heard about them I wanted to feature them today because they  are just a super cool company and I encourage you to check them out it was founded by two  optometrists who really wanted to make the highest quality products possible but also affordable and  using natural ingredients which is all just amazing things so again happy to share them  with you guys so if you want to check out any of the island products that were featured in today’s  video check the YouTube description below I’ll put links to everything there.

Now using the tips for blepharitis here in this video usually does the trick but occasionally people do have more extreme cases and I always encourage you to talk with your local eye doctor to figure out what is best for you when needed eye doctors do occasionally have to prescribe antibiotics or anti-inflammatory  medications along with eyelid hygiene to get things under control. Either way let us know  in the comments section if you’ve ever dealt with red itchy irritated dry eyes and what has helped  the most for you I always think it’s incredible to read the comments and see what people are  talking about otherwise if you want to learn more about blepharitis tips about getting rid of eyelid  styes or dry eye treatments check out some of our other videos in our playlist here.
