In my clinic, we try to use natural, non-antibiotic treatment choices before prescribing an antibiotic, although we see many doctors prescribing antibiotics for this condition. Â Â Blepharitis treatment must be done daily in order to reduce symptoms, which is why we recommend making eyelid hygiene a part of your daily routine!
The first eyelid hygiene product that we recommend is a hypochlorous acid eyelid cleanser.  The first to the market was prescription strength Avenova, which we used in our clinic for a few years with great success. This is prescription only, which makes it more expensive and harder for patients to purchase.Â
Over-the-counter Heyedrate Lid and Lash Cleanser was released in June 2017 and we switched all our patients over to this due to the effectiveness of it, as well as the affordability and the ease of being able to purchase it online. Heyedrate Lid and Lash Cleanser is manufactured from fully organic materials to fight bacteria on your skin.Â
Heyedrate Lid and Lash Cleanser also offers easy application. Â Simply clean the eyelids of any debris or makeup and spray it onto your closed eyelids. Then gently rub the sprayed cleanser into the upper and lower eyelid and eyelash margin. Simply let it dry after that.
Repeat this same procedure in the morning and evening for a couple of days and you’ll start seeing changes. We recommend you begin using this cleanser every time you brush your teeth!

Warm compresses can help break up sticky matting of your eyelashes caused from anterior blepharitis, as well as help with posterior blepharitis (meibomian glands) by heating up the compacted oil in the meibomian glands. This will help provide symptom relief from dry, irritated eyes.
Below is a step-by-step guideline to using a warm compress for blepharitis relief:
Your eyelid has some of the most delicate skin of the human body and it deserves maximum attention and care whenever there is an issue with it. Blepharitis is a very common eye disease that presents with eye redness, inflammation, and itchy eyelids.
Blepharitis is caused by bacteria the majority of the time, but this bacteria can be reduced and maintained using a disciplined eyelid cleansing regimen with a  hypochlorous acid eyelid cleanser twice daily. Before starting any blepharitis treatment, visit an eye doctor to confirm that you’re suffering from blepharitis. Upon confirmation, consider the remedies provided for you in this article.
