Blepharitis

What Is Blepharitis?

Blepharitis is an inflammatory condition of the eyelids that can affect people of all ages, although it is more commonly seen in older adults.

The condition typically affects the eyelid margins, leading to symptoms such as:

  • Gritty or burning sensations in the eyes.
  • Red, swollen or crusty eyelids.
  • Excessive tearing or dry eye symptoms.
  • Sensitivity to light.
  • Blurred vision that improves with blinking.

Blepharitis is not contagious, but it can recur frequently or become a chronic issue if not managed properly. The underlying causes often include bacterial overgrowth, meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), or skin conditions such as rosacea or seborrheic dermatitis.

How We Treat Blepharitis at Dry Eye WA

At Dry Eye WA, we use a comprehensive and tailored approach to manage blepharitis. Our treatments aim to control inflammation, improve eyelid hygiene, and restore ocular surface health. We offer:

  • Blephex® Treatments – A deep-cleaning in-clinic procedure that removes biofilm and debris from the eyelid margins.
  • Blephasteam® Therapy – A warming device that helps unblock oil glands, particularly effective for MGD-related blepharitis.
  • NuLids – An in-office cleaning and massage procedure to remove debris and biofilm from the eyelid margins while simultaneously massaging the glands to unblock the openings.

In addition, we offer expert advice on at-home care and a curated range of eye care products, including preservative-free lubricants, eyelid wipes, and warm compresses to help you maintain results between sessions.
