blepharitis-anyone got this ?

[Tasa]

Does anyone have blepharitis and if so how do youcontrolit?

My son has always suffered from chronic blepharitis, which is sometimes worse that others. It doesn't cause him any real problems, but his eyes are sometimes quite red-rimmed and sore looking. The doctor once suggested using a small amount of baby shampoo with warm water on a cotton bud to clear the crusts. This did seem to work better than anything else, and did not sting at all. Sorry I can't be of more help. I don't think he has it very severely (thank goodness).

dh has chronic blepharitis too and the baby shampoo does work but feel sorry for him, he has a permanent red eye and needs to wash it out a few times a day. Seen countless specilaists bt no joy.

you need to religously bathe the eyes twice a day in a solution of 9 parts water and 1 part Baby Shampoo.

dd1 suffers from this. basically we were told to do what blodwen and highlander have suggested.
