What at home treatment can i do for blepharitis of my eyes. cant go to dr for another week.

Involves eyelid edge: Take a clean washcloth and wet it in very warm water and place it over the closed eyelids for 5 minutes. Place the warm, wet washcloth over the index finger and apply a diluted solution of 50% baby shampoo. Clean one eye at a time, closing the eye you are cleaning, and rubbing the washcloth or your finger over the eyelashes and lid margins several times using horizontal strokes. Rinse thoroughly.

Baby shampoo: Wash eyelids with no tears baby shampoo and warm water twice daily.Its from oil glands on the edge of the eyelids.

Heat and lid scrubs: Scrub the lashes and lid margin with q tips and baby shampoo. Apply warm compresses, hot water in a wash rag as warm as you can stand it. This may solve the problem before you make it to the doctor.

Blepharitis: Blepharitis, sometimes referred to as dandruff of the eyelashes. I have many patient that have problems with baby shampoo scrubs. I recommend ocusoft lid scrubs. If this does not take care of it, then you may need an antibiotic and possibly steroid drop or combination to treat the condition. Oral omega 3's can help the health of the eyelid margin as well.
