Blurred vision from posterior blepharitis ... effective cures ? warm compresses not working

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blepharitis: Sometimes needs scrubbing of the eyelid margins near the lash line to clean the crusting that can build up. In addition, patients may need either oral or topical antibiotics to reduce the bacteria that can aggravate your symptoms.
