Product Information

cleaning your eyelids – to wipe away any excess oil and remove any crusts, bacteria, dust or grime that might have built up You should do the above routine – warmth, massage, clean – at least twice a day until symptoms settle. When the symptoms have eased, it is good to keep doing this routine once a day, every day, to prevent further flare-ups. If you are prone to blepharitis you can think of this as part of your daily routine, just like brushing your teeth, to keep symptoms away, or to a minimum. Antibiotic treatments

Blephaclean keeps the eyelids clean whilst respecting the skin around the eyes and its natural bacteria a reaction to Staphylococcus bacteria – these usually live harmlessly on the skin of many people, but for unknown reasons they can cause the eyelids to become inflamed Review Blephaclean I suffer from blepharitis and my son in England recommended the product to me. I was at the time using a similar Spanish remedy, which whilst satisfactory, does not seem as efficient as Blephaclean. I am also impressed with the service you offer.If you do not have a GP, then we have an in-house private GP practice that you can use.

Massaging helps to push the oily fluid out of the tiny meibomian glands. This is also known as meibomian gland dysfunction. The tiny meibomian glands are located in the eyelids just behind the eyelashes. You have about 25-30 meibomian glands on each upper and lower eyelid. They make a small amount of oily fluid which is released on the inside of the eyelids next to the eye. This oily eyelid fluid forms the outer layer of the tear film which lubricates the front of the eye. It is thought that people with meibomian blepharitis have a slight problem with their meibomian glands and the fluid they produce. This may lead to eyelid inflammation. It also provides an explanation as to why people with meibomian blepharitis often have dry eyes, as their fluid may not be adequate to lubricate the eye. Combinations of the above

More severe cases may require antibiotics. Your optician (optometrist) or GP can advise you about the best treatment. Causes of blepharitis By virtue of its sophisticated formulation, Blephaclean wipesnot only cleanses the skin but also moisturises the outer layers.Conjunctival phlyctenules. These are small (1-3 mm), hard, triangular, yellowish-white lumps surrounded by prominent but tiny blood vessels. If these lumps develop they normally occur on the lower part of the eye just below the cornea. They are made up of white blood cells that accumulate in response to bacterial infection. The most common method is to press on the eyelids gently with a wash cloth soaked in very warm water for 5-10 minutes. To keep the cloth warm, keep running it under warm water. The purpose of warmth is to soften the skin and help dissolve any crusts around the eyelids. It also allows the oily secretions to flow easier. Warmth applied to the eyelids for about five minutes is sufficient to achieve this. Another method is to use sodium bicarbonate. Add a teaspoonful to a cup of cooled water that has recently been boiled (to partially sterilise the water). This is applied using a clean cloth or cotton wool bud in the same manner. People with blepharitis tend to have symptoms that flare-up from time to time. As mentioned, blepharitis is usually a long-term (chronic) problem, and its causes are usually chronic too. Typically, you rub your slightly sore and inflamed eyelids, further irritating them, creating a vicious cycle of more and more inflammation. This results in your eyelids becoming more sore and itchy, and the temptation to rub them even more increases, and so on.

Yes of course, I put a few drops onto a cotton bud and then closed the eye I was applying it to then just wipe it across the top of the lash line so it soaked into the hair folicle and around the area. You do have to be careful and try not to let it get in your eyes (I have done that a few times) also I wiped it under my lower lashes. What I also found were Tea Tree Facial Wipes which I use everyday around my eyes and they have helped. Mixed blepharitis is the most common.
