Thank you for the education!
Thank you so much for this video. You have no idea how much your videos are helping me. I’ve been so upset finding out I have this. I wear makeup almost daily and it’s been definitely lowering my self esteem.
I feel the same! You can't be with other people on dates in biz etc. with puss dripping out your lids or corner of your eye. I am going to try everything till I find what works for me!
have you found a remedy yet? im struggling with the same thing 😭
@@bleezyb6304did you find anything to treat blepharitis ? I think I have it
@@bleezyb6304 are ur eyes better now?
Exceptional. Thank you.
Hello Dr D. Thank you for the information! My eyel have been itchy!
When my daughter was a toddler, she started getting styes. As she grew, the styes happened more often and lasted much longer (sometimes weeks or over a month) despite compresses. They also were so large that they needed to be expressed(which was awful...I wonder what my neighbor thought I was doing to my poor little girl). She actually has a scare on one eye lid from such a large stye. By 4th grade she stopped getting the styes, but her right eye ball would flare up red and bumpy and last for weeks. FYI, it is only her right eye. Our pediatrician finally sent us to a pediatric Opthomologist who we saw 3 times. He gave us prednisone drops and warned us to only use them for 2 wks because it can cause glaucoma. After that we can do compresses for 5min 1-2x daily. There's is nothing else we can do. He said there is no cure, no one knows the root of the condition or what can trigger it. My daughter is 12 now and still suffers and gets teased at school. She's a busy, active 12 yr old, we do our best to do compresses. Sometimes it seems to work. Other times, not so much. I deeply regret not taking this into my own hands sooner. I could have saved my daughter from a lot of discomfort & teasing! I just found you & watched 4 of your videos. We were told to use a warm cloth on her eye for 5min. Now I know better!!!! Now I know how to cleanse her eye lid! We never heard of such a thing! I ordered her a proper compress (and now we know that 5min is not enough), optase cleanser + wipes, and a fish oil supplement!!! You are a gem. Thank you😭🙏!!! 💝
I have the exact same thing! Have been using the eye ointment (steroid) for over a year but apply it once or twice a week despite knowing the consequences of glaucoma, but I only do it to find relief. I will be trying the warm compression. Please let me know what has helped your daughter 🙏🏼
Thanks for your efficient and complete video. I've had two recent terrible bouts with eye allergy (food-based) and infection. Pollen affected me for the first time this year. I didn't hear you discuss natural treatment of cucumber. When I have an infection, the cucumber slices (sans skins) pull out the fluid. When there is no infection, they don't do a thing for me. Also, after cleaning my eyes, I will use a medical grade vaseline or natural oil (olive, grapeseed, etc.) for moisturizing so that I'm not rubbing my eyes for dryness. My opthalmologist did recommend Avenova wipes and sprays, which I have not gotten yet. I prefer things as natural as possible. (How about local honey, as an eye tech recommended -- consumed internally.)
I wish you'd do a video advocating for dry eye testing at routine eye exams.
Thanks. The compresses and hydroclorous Spray drys out the skin…a various creams have vvv a hard time balancing it out.
Thankful
Thankyou
I use tea tree oil wipes (that also cntain coconut oil) through a provider that my optician recommended. They are not covered by insurance.
Thank you thank you thank youuu!!! I really appreciate you taking the time to educate us on ocular health :) I've had this condition reoccurring over the years. I've had success with steaming the eyelids and using boric acid rinse along with scrubbing the eyelid. I. Starting to think I've got a demodex problem. Could you make a video on that and maybe do an overview of home remedies that work? Does tea tree oil help? Thanks one again!
She says tea tree oil does help but has side effects. Other video I saw speaks highly of it. I just got some 3 days ago I will find out. I have had blepheritis over a year!
The video ending and she didn’t not -mentioned the treatment
Only teach us about eyes blepheritis which is a simple eye lid infection
Treat with cortisone and antibiotic ointment
Where are products links?
What do you feel about those hypo chlorous acid machines that make it
What about colloidal silver,,,, meant to be amazing for stuff like this
BTW I wore contacts all my adult life. Are they ok to wear if the infection subsidies?
I suggest using castor oil on eyelids as well as manuka eye drops.
I have severe sensitivity to light caused by my blepheritis. Any suggestions other than wearing sun glasses which I do indoor and outdoor sunglasses. I use Systane eye lid wipes. Are they good.
What can I use to help reduce the itching and red flaky dry skin, with swelling, it looks extra wrinkled. I'm allergic to makeup but still want to wear makeup.
Can you make a video for blepharitis for kids. My 4 yr old has been suffering . As we just found out he has allergies . The specialist said blepharitis also. His under eye is so red and he barely has any lashes left .
Good day ma I also have blepharitis please what do I do
Why omega 3 brand do you recommend?
Thank you for the video !! I recently started to have this problem !! I want to wear make up do you recommend any particular Kind ..help !
Check out the video I did on Eyes Are the Story here! czcams.com/video/k6hpLC8j9U8/video.html
Otherwise makeup is really really tough to suss out the best kinds due to all the preservatives and additive that are more drying to the eyes and damaging to the meibomian glands!
I have very sensitive eyes & the one mascara that does not cause any issues is the Loreal voluminous mascara
You don't have to buy anything to clean your eye you can and waist money she is only Advertising her goods
Use colloidal silver spray..works well
Thanks appreciate the info! It’s weird that there’s not a lot of information on colloidal silver, I got some eye drops from Etsy of colloidal silver
Hello, one day i woke up and my eyelid was puffy but i don't have crusting or anything what can I have??
I seen the video where they use a tool to clean the eyelid with a sponge thing that spins at so many revolutions a second or something like that. I was wondering how much does that cost to have down for someone who has to pay cash? I need it done. I have no insurance health or vision. I need it done badly.
What about slices of cucumber?
So...how do you know if there are mites
Where are you located
Pharmaceutical grade fish oil.....do you need a prescription for that?
Which eye wipes do you recommend for itchy eye margarine...
There are several good lid wipes. Optase is really soft and soothing. Eyes Are the Story is very gentle!
Colloidal Silver?
I had this issue and I didn’t know whats wrong with my eyes
Is the condition serious
Hyppo physics spray ? How do u spell it ???
Is there a way to get rid of this permanently? I have been fighting it for 2-3 years, been to my primary care doctor for it 3-4 times, tried different prescription creams/ointments and it never goes away. I wash my eyelids/face twice a day, use warm compresses and it seems to come back worse than before:-(. Considering paying my eye doctor a visit to see what can be done.....or should I see a dermatologist?
I got diagnosed with this too a few weeks ago (have it on my right eye only) my eyelid got really red and inflamed also could barely open my eye it was really painful then I decided to go to the hospital and they prescribed me some pills and ointment and it helped a little and then just about the infection was close to clearing up boom… got another flare up I went to the hospital 2 times and ophthalmologist 2 times and they all prescribed me the same thing then for the last time I went to the hospital again and said they can’t do anything about anymore or prescribe me anything else but only applying warm compress and cleaning my eyelids I recommend you going to a dermatologist instead since it’s a skin issue
I’ve found avocado oil helps
Hypochlorous acid spray was a real game changer for me! I was curious what you said about tea tree oil and meibomian glands, that TTO was bad for the glands. Not disputing this, just wanting to know what actual effect does it have on them? Thx!
Where do you get hydrochlorus acid spray from? I’ve been struggling with this problem for months
@@zachmcbride5926 hi Zach! There are various hypochlorous acid sprays available on the market but the one I got was about $10 cheaper than the first one I was looking at. Got it off Amazon. The one I bought is Heyedrate Lid & Lash Cleanser... It's a spray with only two ingredients, hypochloric acid and saline solution. While I was there I also bought the Heyedrate Tea Tree Face Wash.
Started using the lid and lash cleaner spray several times a day at first, along with Theratears preservative free eye drops to keep my eye surface hydrated. These eye drops are not like Visine, they are developed with your eyes physiology in mind to soothe and hydrate.
I spray the lid and eyelash cleaner directly on my CLOSED eye, rub it gently with a clean finger. CAUTION: If you put lotion or sunscreen on before you spray, you will experience stinging in your eye. So clean face, use the spray on your closed eye, gently rub lashes with clean finger, put in preservative free saline eye drops, then put on any lotion you need after your eyes have dried. That way the lotion won't run into your eyes. Good luck and best to you! 🌱
@@laurieparis2203 can you put link where can i buy that? Please
@@zachmcbride5926 there are OTC brands at CVS in the eye care aisle.
Yes I also use hydrochlorous acid spray twice a day fantastic stuff along with a morning eye lid bath when I get up
Very upset with this condition. I have not been able to date or live without pain over a year! I was misdiagnosed up till now I am real bad off by now. The dryness led to a itchiness made me think I had a contact stuck in my eye. Led to a corneal abrasion. Got worse with eye drops and tea tree oil wipes. I do think the heat mask helped. TY
Things will get better with proper care. I’ve been where you are.
@@annmariekett152 after a blood test I found I had a bacteria that caused chronic blephritis. Knowing now what I have I know how to manage.
@@sharon8121 What blood test they do to determine bacteria?
A nasal swab they test for staph etc. I had the acne bacteria showed this to my dermatologist she prescribed clindamycin gel. Its helpful!
Bhleparitis life long condition?
Why are the current eyelid cleansers better than baby shampoo?
Do you think You'll ever give another video of a yearly Eye exam like three years ago in 2018?
Oh yes, I can do that! I haven’t had an eye exam in awhile so when I can get another doctor in my office again for a day I’ll make them do my exam and I’ll record it! Would you want me to have my exam or could I have one of my staff show theirs?
@@EyeSchoolwithDrD Well in all honesty, I have always thought it's really cool whenever I've seen a teacher that leads by example :) And You are the teacher So I would have to say my preference would be yourself, If that's okay.
Does this also cause fogginess in an eye?
It can…. Not always. But yes that could be one of the symptoms.
What about underneath your lower eyelid? I have tried absolutely everything
I used pure organic caster oil-hexane free. Put 1-2 drops in each eye at bedtime. For 1-2 weeks. Can use warm wash rag compress. Completely cleared up my eye lid issues. Anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti bacterial!!
I have a question if you could please answer it also. Does wearing makeup make the blepharitis act up? The only time I seem to have a reaction is when I wear eyelash glue or any other type of eye makeup. And my eyes get very itchy, red, puffy and then the next couple days they will be peeling and swollen. Will I never be able to wear makeup again?
The only place my eye seems to have a reaction is along the lash line
Makeup and lash glues absolutely can make it act up. Watch my video about eyes are the story, and I have some about lashes too! Thank
Same here :( I love wearing make up, wear it almost every day. But when I have a flare up I have to skip days wearing make up which kind of sucks to be honest lol. Switch out your eye make up regularly and be very sanitary with your eyes and use high quality products. If I catch it early enough sometimes this helps; I fill up a thermos with hot steamy water halfway and put my eye around the opening. Be careful not to burn yourself but do it consistently every couple of hours along with cleaning your eyelid with a boric acid + water (I use saline). I hope this helps you as much as it helps me!
@@EyeSchoolwithDrD be
@@katryanaorange2092 hi. How are your eyes now? Are you able to wear makeup like mascara and eyeliner without problem now please? Thanks you😊
tea tree oil is bad for the glands, that's why I chose to use Myboclean.
I've tried everything in your video except for the fish oil..still I am overwhelmed with them have no idea what to do about this problem. Not sure what's causing this problem. What should I do?

Try honey. It sting for 2 minutes then the next day you will feel relief right away. I suffered with that I'm willing to do everything. Try it once, and see what happen. Try for 15 minutes before washing.
@@yndiiatecow2536you wash off honey? You put it ob lids or?
I have severe blepharitis, dry eye, allergies and an infection! …taking oral antibiotics…😭
oh no! i hope you get some relief soon!
I suffer with the bad too I don't know what to do but suffer
Will I ever be able to wear eye make up again?????:( I haven't wore make up in two years! If I do my eyes burn!! And swell up. Tried all types of eye make up
I must appreciate Dr odija on CZcams for helping me in getting rid of Norovirus, Your product for healing stomach bug is really the best keep saving lives!!!!!
It was suggested to throw away any old makeup and just get new makeup.
What Omega 3 do you think would work !?
Two that have good Dr backing are PRN D3 and Nordic Naturals!
I know you're not asking me but I'm just going to put it out there because a lot of omega3 products make me nauseous. My pharmacist recommended krill oil - which he takes too - & I've definitely noticed a difference.
VA docs still recommend baby shampoo. :)
I’ve cured mine by simply rubbing my eyes vigorously with water on my hands
