Blepharitis and treatment with Blephex

What is Blepharitis?

Blepharitis is the medical term for chronic, inflammatory disease of the eyelids caused by an overgrowth of normal bacteria living along the lid and the base of the eyelashes.

Anyone can get blepharitis at any age, but the prevalence increases with age, since as we get older, we make fewer natural antibodies in our tears.

BlephEx

Now, thanks to BlephEx™, your eye care practitioner can precisely and safely, clean and exfoliate your eyelids and lashes, which will almost immediately improve your symptoms. More importantly, by completely removing the exotoxin-laden biofilm along the lid margin, your eye care practitioner can help you avoid the long-term inflammatory damage to your tear glands, preventing chronic dry eye syndrome.

Am I a Candidate for BlephEx?

Am I a Candidate for BlephEx?

If you suffer from one or more of the following symptoms, you may be suffering from blepharitis:

  • Itching or scratchy eyes
  • Foreign body sensation
  • Tearing
  • Crusting
  • Redness/Inflammation
  •  Mattering
  • Dry eye
  • Eye rubbing

Edgbaston Private Eye Clinic has got a dedicated Blepharitis, Demodex and Dry Eye Syndrome clinic. This is because of the ever increasing prevalence of these conditions.

What is Demodex?

Demodex folliculorum is a species of face mite. Demodex folliculorum is one of the parasitic/commensal face mites that occur on people (other than Demodex brevis).

Demodex derives from the Greek roots, demos- fat, and dex- worm. When large numbers of Demodex folliculorum are found on humans, the infestation is known as “demodicosis”.

There are several conditions which may affect the severity of blepharitis such as dry eye disease, allergies, seborrheic dermatitis, rosacea, age, contact lens wear, poor immune status,rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogrens disease, and androgen deficiency.
