A member asked:
I have blepharitis i am going to have cataract operation can i treat my blephatitis after the operation?

Not recommended: If there is inflammation/infection of the eyelid of the eye to be operated on, you must check with the ophthalmologist, but I recommend clearing up the blepharitis before the procedure is undertaken. This would involve a preoperative visit and treatment.
