If you struggle with eyelid inflammation (aka. blepharitis), crusty eyes in the AM, or ocular rosacea, you might have an overgrowth of Demodex mites!
Demodex mites are a common, naturally-occurring commensal skin parasite that live, feed, poop, and die on your skin and on eyelashes and eyebrow hairs.
While that may sound (really) gross, they are usually not an issue…unless the Demodex mites overgrow.
Eyelid inflammation, irritated eyes, crustiness on your lashes in the morning, and eye discomfort are signs of Demodex mites overgrowth.
My guest today is sharing a ton of tips to help prevent Demodex mites overgrowth, as well as Demodex mites treatment options like eyelid washes, natural remedies, and much more!
Dr. Carly Rose is a returning guest to the show. She is a distinguished optometrist who earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from Northern Kentucky University. She pursued her optometry studies in Chicago and completed a year-long residency at the Cincinnati VAMC Eye Clinic.

What’s your experience with Demodex mites and eye inflammation? Did you know they were connected?
Like that eye docs look for this. Derm doctors are less interested or think it is a sign of psychiatric problem.
Is coconut oil a good moisturizer for the eyelids & general occular area?
Dr prescribed “Lovaza” -I don’t think that is a triglyceride form of Omaha 3. Your comments? And Please suggest another version.
I think we are having an issue with demodicosis after covid
Is there a link for the tea tree oil product for the eyes? Thank you!
