Frequently Asked Questions

What is blepharitis?

Blepharitis is a common condition causing inflammation of the eyelid edges. It often leads to redness, irritation, and crusting around the eyelashes due to bacterial overgrowth or malfunctioning oil glands.

What causes blepharitis?

Blepharitis can be caused by several factors including bacterial infections, seborrheic dermatitis (similar to dandruff), rosacea, Demodex mites, clogged or inflamed meibomian glands, and sometimes allergies or environmental irritants.

What is Demodex?

Demodex mites are microscopic organisms that naturally live on the skin and eyelashes. When present in excessive numbers they are directly linked to eye pathologies like rosacea, chalazion, stye and chronic blepharitis (often associated with Dry Eye Disease).

Treatment may include specialised lid cleaning, targeted in-clinic therapies and ongoing eyelid hygiene to reduce mite populations and improve eye comfort.

How is blepharitis treated?

Blepharitis is a chronic inflammatory condition of the eyelids that often requires ongoing management. Treatment is tailored to the underlying cause and severity of the condition.

Lid Hygiene is the foundation of treatment and may include warm compresses and gentle eyelid cleansing with specialised lid-cleaning products to remove debris, bacteria and excess oils.

ZEST™ (Zocular Eyelid System Treatment) provides a deep professional cleaning of the eyelid margins and eyelashes, removing biofilm, bacteria, debris and Demodex mites that can contribute to inflammation and irritation.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) helps reduce eyelid inflammation, improves meibomian gland function and addresses abnormal blood vessels that can contribute to chronic blepharitis.

Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) uses near-infrared light to reduce inflammation, stimulate cellular repair and support healthier eyelid and meibomian gland function.

By combining home care with advanced in-clinic treatments, we can effectively manage blepharitis, improve eyelid health and reduce associated dry eye symptoms.

Can blepharitis cause other eye problems?

Yes, if left untreated, blepharitis can lead to complications such as chronic dry eye, styes, chalazia (eyelid lumps), or even damage to the cornea from persistent inflammation.
