I have this condition and wondered what you all find to be the best treatment.  I use Systane lid wipes and eye drops.  I used to use the foam eye cleanser but cannot find it any longer.   My eye doctor highly recommended this.  Now they have a spray which I bought but do not like.  Pricey and you must use a cotton pad to apply.

Re: Blepharitis

[ Edited ]

The foam cleanser is available on Walmart dot com.

 

I ordered some a few months ago.

 

Edited to add:  The brand I ordered and use is OCuSOFT.  It is a foaming cleanser and is excellent.  I have had very good results with it.

I have very sensitive eyes/eye lids and take eye drops for my eye condition.  I searched years for a good eye makeup remover as they all aggravated my condition.  I now use Sephora eye makeup remover and it works great.  I use a cotton pad to remove my makeup then wipe my eyes with a clean wet flannel.  It costs about $12 and lasts ages.  It's worth a try and Sephora will refund you if it doesn't work.  Good luck.

I use baby shampoo to clean my eyelids, eye lashes, and eye brows every day. This is what my doctor advised to do for maintenance after finishing my prescription eye drops. It's been over a year and the blepharitis has not come back.

Warm compresses help so much to open up oil glands and loosen debris.  The wipes can be used next to wipe this away.

WrIng out a washcloth that you wet with warm water or buy eye compresses especially made for this or dry eyes you put in the microwave.

I've been using Blink eye wipes. But as Pure N Simple said, warm compresses are a big help.

Just found out that I also have this, never heard about it before.   Eyes were infected, gave prescription salve, told to use hot compresses, baby shampoo, did not say anything about wipes.  May have to look into that!   Also, every night I have to use a salve, over the counter, Retaine PM, hate this stuff, like putting a goop of glue in eyes before bedtime.  Now my question for you ladies do any of you wake up with crusted eyelids?  I also use Xiidra drops twice a day for dry eye.

Warm compresses did the trick for me.

I had that years ago and my doctor told me to get Hydrocortizone cream 1% and rub a tad on my eyelid.  Cleared mine up in short order.
