Question 1

can blepharitis cause blurred vision?  why?

Accepted Answer

Causes dry eye: Your oil glands don't work well with blepharitis and the tear quality you produce is poor leading to dry eye. The surface of the eye has to be smooth and lubricated to focus light well and to see well. With dry eyes, light scatters causing patches and 'clouds' of blurry vision. Talk to your eye doctor about remedies to help with blepharitis. Take care.

Question 2

does blepharitis causes blurry vision?

Accepted Answer

Certainly can!: Typically blepharitis causes the eyes to have foreign body sensation, feel life there is sand or dirt in the eye, and there is a burning sensation.  Sometimes also itchy.  The tear film becomes unstable with fluctuating vision.  In much more advanced cases there can be ulcerations of the cornea, loss of the limbal stem cells and loss of clarity of vision.

in the past i had blepharitis. i woke up with instant pain in one eye like something was in it. since then i have had blurred vision in that eye, redness, watering. is this blepharitis? i have neo poly dex ointment can i use it?

Accepted Answer

ER, or eye doctor: An ophthalmologist (medical eye doctor) should check now. He has magnifying equipment that gives a good exam of the eyeball and eyelids. The eye doctor can see infection, irritation or inflammation, corneal abrasion, something stuck in the eye, etc... The ER can help if no eye doctor is available right away. In one's 60's, if it is angle-closure glaucoma it is an eye emergency.

Question 5

can a cold cause blurry vision and kind burning eyes? eye doctor says my eyes are healthy that i just have blepharitis wich i treat with warm compress

Accepted Answer

If viral cold, yes: Sometimes with the viral shedding in the tear film, there can be minor irritation or blurriness that goes away as soon as the cold does. If not, call your eye doctor so they can assess under a slit lamp examination. Meanwhile,  if your eyes are feeling 'hot', cool compresses may be better than warm until the cold goes away. If eyes are feeling cool, or cold, the warm compresses would be comforting.

Question 6

how to cure blurry vision from blepharitis ?

Accepted Answer

Blepharitis: Your blepharitis, a common inflammation of the eyelids, may lead to keratitis or blepharoconjunctivitis (infection). Remedies often involve hot compresses, lid hygiene with a wash cloth and diluted baby shampoo, gentle massage of the eyelids with the warm wash cloth, and occasionally antibiotic ointments or drops like azasite, and if severe, a combination of an antibiotic and steroid. May use tears.

Question 7

any treatments that'll make blurry vision from blepharitis oil glands go away ?

Accepted Answer

It takes time: Posterior blepharitis takes time to improve. The quality of the tear lake, which is composed of meibomian gland secretions (the part you are treating), mucin layer, ; aqueous layer, aides the ocular surface to be as clear ; smooth as possible. Use artificial tears like refresh™ tears to help with part of the blurry vision, but continue with the compresses/massages. Eye doc can also rx doxycycline.

Question 8

how can i get my ophthalmologist to prescribe me an oral antibiotic for my blurry vision do to blepharitis ? i can't take it anymore nothing works

Accepted Answer

Not likely infected: Your ophthalmologist has determined that your blepharitis is non-infectious.   Most blepharitis does not blur the vision.  It does sound like you might have some confidence problems with your eye doctor and perhaps a second opinion would be helpful.

Question 9

blurry vision from blepharitis not responding to any treatment ..warm compresses, eye drops etc anything else i can do ?

Accepted Answer

Consider Demodex: Blepharitis can often be caused by a parasite called demodex. There is a new product called cliradex that contains tea tree oil that can be effective. See your eyemd for additional details.
