Blepharitis is an inflammatory condition of the
eyelids. Material secreted by the eyelids builds
up on the lid margin and they become red and sore. Regularly cleaning the eyelids will help. Add
baby shampoo to water (1:10) which has been boiled
and left to cool until warm. Clean your hands,
then apply cotton wool pads dipped in the solution
to the eyelids. Leave for several minutes to loosen the material,
repeating with a fresh pad. Then take a cotton
bud and dip it into the solution. Gently rub the
cotton bud across the upper and lower eyelid
margins, removing the debris. Repeat the process, ensuring you use a fresh
cotton bud each time. Carry out this process
regularly and the condition should improve. |
