🦠 DEMODEX BLEPHARITIS — SIGNS, SYMPTOMS & WHEN TO SCHEDULE
Do your eyelids feel itchy, irritated, or crusty?
You may be experiencing Demodex blepharitis, a common condition caused by tiny mites that live in the eyelash follicles.
Common signs & symptoms:
• Itchy or burning eyelids
• Red, irritated lid margins
• Crusting or “collarettes” at the base of the lashes
• Foreign-body sensation (feeling like something’s in your eye)
• Watery or dry, gritty eyes
• Recurrent styes or chalazia
The good news? It’s treatable—and earlier care leads to better comfort and healthier eyelids.
✨ If you’re experiencing these symptoms, schedule an appointment. Your eyes will thank you!
