Because blepharitis is a chronic (long-term condition) there is, unfortunately, no treatment that will ensure the condition never returns.   Blepharitis treatments will improve the discomfort caused by the condition and will help maintain good eye health. To alleviate the symptoms of blepharitis, you can apply warm compresses. These work by warming the material that is causing the glands in the eyelids to become blocked.   They can also warm and loosen crusting on the eyelashes. After using a warm compress, you can carefully clean your eyelids. Your Optometrist will be able to offer you advice on the different methods that can be used to safely clean your eyelids.
