Blepharitis: Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention
How Do I Prevent Blepharitis?
There are many everyday steps that you can take to prevent blepharitis. This includes:
- Keeping your hands and face clean
- Avoiding rubbing your eyes with dirty fingers or a dirty towel, for example
- Removing all eye makeup before bedtime
If you are in the early stages of treating blepharitis, avoid the use of eye makeup to prevent further irritation. Once you begin using makeup again, replace your products used in or near the eyelids because they may be contaminated.
