The disorder doesn't cause pain all the time, sometimes it just causes more itchy eyelids than anything. But just because it's not painful doesn't mean symptoms won't flare up meaning you have to deal with multiple irritants throughout the day.

Most victims feel that Blepharitis causes their eyelids to burn, and then they look into the mirror to see the red coloration and freak out because this will knowingly increase the amount of stares in public along with questions. I hated dealing with that everyday at school! For a lot of reported cases, people also develop flaking on the eyelids, to wake up with super crusty eyes in the morning.

It's also been reported that people developed a cyst on their lid margin or better known as the infamous bump on eyelid putting pressure on the eyeball.

Beware that this condition is sometimes (but not always) a life long battle that needs to be managed with proper treatment. Being concerned about your health is always important so Blepharitis remedies should be utilized on a daily basis especially if your case of this causes several symptoms.

Patients need to consult an expert if symptoms get progressively worse and make sure you have questions to ask before hand. Some people have reported that the blepharitis was there one day and gone within a weeks time. It all depends on each person and symptoms vary as well.

Blepharitis Causes

To break it down in the most simplest way, blepharitis has two forms. The first one which is the most common reported form is Anterior Blepharitis which has to do with the outside of your eyelids and most often comes from the bacteria Staphylococcus.

The Two types

Posterior blepharitis deals with the part underneath your lids and while people with disorders like Acne Rosacea or  Seborrheic Dermatitisare more prone to acquiring it, other people without them can as well. The victims eye gets flooded with bacteria causing them to rub their eyes lot and do other things which can further affect it. It's not a pretty picture, literally.

Blepharitis Treatment

Yeah yeah yeah it's dreadful, this condition really does suck but we all need to be glad that this disorder is not only treatable, it even has potential to go away in time. To help avoid outbreaks, one needs to consider incorporating daily eye hygiene into their routine. Since it's recommended to do treatment twice a day you can do it in the morning after breakfast or before you shower and then again at night whether it's after you eat or right before you go to bed.

I usually use my heat treatment right before I go to bed. It would be a good idea for someone with blepharitis to use moist pads and a heated eyebag to insure the most effectiveness for relieving symptoms. Applying this treatment aids in softening oils and debris that can be found on the lid margins. Some blepharitis remedies were used with a teabag which was then used as a heat compress. If someone ends up with anterior blepharitis, then they will most likely need a doctor to provide them with antibiotics for their eyelids to get rid of the eye infection.

Eyelids can and should be massaged lightly to loosen debris. Chronic blepharitis is something that a lot of us have to deal with everyday, but with eye hygiene in my routine it has made it a lot easier getting through the day.
