Blepharitis Eye Doctor

Blepharitis eye doctor in Idaho Falls, Pocatello, Rexburg and St. Anthony.

Stinging, irritated eyes, and blurred vision may indicate nothing more than a case of blepharitis -- an unpleasant but, in most cases, relatively harmless condition. Blepharitis is a chronic eyelid inflammation caused by a variety of irritants and/or the inability to maintain proper eye lubrication. In some cases, bacterial infection may be involved.

Typical symptoms of blepharitis include the formation of crusts along the eyelids, eye pain, redness, oozing, abnormal tear formation, irregularities in the arrangement of your eyelashes, and a tendency for the eyelids to stick together.

If you suffer from this annoying problem, don't feel obliged to live with it. To discover the cause of your blepharitis, speak with one of our Summit Eyecare eye doctors to get relief from this irritating disease.

Getting Relief from Blepharitis

The good news is that most cases of blepharitis are more annoying than dangerous. While extreme cases may require medical treatment to prevent possible damage to the cornea, your eye care professional can recommend several simple home care practices you can adopt to keep this recurring problem at bay. These may include warm compresses, commercial eyelid cleansers, anti-dandruff shampoos, and artificial tears.

You may also be advised to stop wearing contact lenses or using eyeliner and eye shadow, since these practices can make people more prone to blepharitis. (Since blepharitis attacks tend to come and go, you may want to keep a pair of eyeglasses handy so you can continue to see clearly while treating the condition.) Even a massage of the outer eyelids can help relieve the condition.

Request an Appointment

No one enjoys the prospect of a chronic eye condition but once you learn how to control your blepharitis, instead of simply suffering with it, you will feel better. Contact one of Summit Eyecare’s eye doctors for advice on controlling this condition.
