Using vaseline for blepharitis?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

May make it worse: Vaseline can clog the glands and make inflammation worse. Gently cleaning the lashes with baby shampoo is a better idea. More info: www.2020vision.Com/blepharitis.Html.

Not standard: Blepharitis can have a variety of causes, and depending on the type, treatments can vary. The basic treatment for most is to use hot compresses followed by eyelid hygiene using diluted baby shampoo 1 to 4 times daily. Artifificial tears can help with eye irritation & if itchy, topical antihistamines. Fish/flaxseed oil daily, and if severe, eye md eval. To rx an antibiotic/steroid ointment or doxy.
