In many cases, blepharitis cannot be cured and will stick around for the rest of life. However, it can be treated to prevent further symptoms. Treating blepharitis starts by keeping your eyelids clean. Try washing your eyelids each day using water and a gentle cleanser, such as baby shampoo. If it still causes symptoms, then visiting a healthcare provider may be necessary. They can prescribe eye drops and medication to effectively treat the blepharitis.
