Avatar f tn I've developed sties in both eyes about 5 months ago. My the "head" of the left eye still is swollen and red from the stye, though it doesn't really hurt anymore. As for my right eye, when it was infected again 5 months ago, it looked as if it was hit by 3 styes in a row, with white heads all over the lower lid. When the infection resolved, it gave way to a pimple near my lower lashes that would produce pus from time to time.
493068 tn?1224765315 UTI and low humidity makes it go wild. I feel like I just can't handle this horrible pain much longer. My opthalmologist just gave me Lotemax reluctantly because of glaucoma. Is this rosacea suppose to be this paiful? I take Doxy daily, Travatan, erythromycin eye ointment. I am just at my wits end. Any help would be appreciated.
Avatar n tn THE THING for blepharitis control (not cure-its a chronic disease) is TheraTears SteriLid eyelid cleaner available over the counter. Also use the search, archives and health topic features here to read the many references to blepharitis.
Avatar m tn 1 % ointment turns out to be an excellent therapeutic option for treatment of severe atopic blepharitis. Long-term efficacy and safety have to be evaluated in long-term follow-up studies.
Avatar n tn warm compress, fish oil, flax seed oil, doxycycline hyclate 100mg, cleansing the eyelids thoroughly with baby shampoo, Sterilid or Ocusoft Lid scrubs, Tobradex, Erythromycin, Blephamide, Keflex, Ciloxan. Even Azasite or lancing and draining of the chalazions made no difference in the size or swelling. I have tried all of the above solutions over many months with zero difference in the size and swelling of the bumps. The bumps usually start in fall or winter time.
972691 tn?1247870094 Has anyone had a chalazion drain onto the eyeball through the underside of the eyelid? I've had one for a little over 7 weeks now. It's being treated with neo/poly/dex and erythromycin for 5 of those weeks. It was very large and inflamed at first but now is much smaller. I went to see an ophthalmologist because there were massive amounts of gooey stuff in my eye several times from an apparent eye infection and the chalazion was very large and inflamed with pulsating pain at that time.
Avatar m tn 1% for blepharitis aka Topical FK 506 Ointment 0.1%. I have blepharitis many years and used many treatments most short lived and then back on the rollercoaser with red eyes + inflamed lids crusting etc .
Avatar m tn Antibiotics is not the main treatment for blepharitis. They are used as an initial treatment with lid hygiene and warm compresses. My antibiotic of choice for this is Azasite which is rubbed into the lashes for about a week. Dr. O.
Avatar f tn tea tree wipes are generally unnecessary for blepharitis unless it is due to Demodix which is rather unusual.
Avatar f tn i would return to the ophthalmologist for a repeat exam. Also use the search feature and archives to read about blepharitis the most common cause of your problem.
Avatar m tn It has not hurt at all since that day, but its been red for about four days now. Yesterday, I tried to wear my make up again and then my other eye became red too. I have also been experiencing a sore throat when I wake up each morning, drainage, stuffy nose, and an itchy nose. I have not been diagnosed with herpes, but I am worried I have it.... I had a small bump inside my lip that eventually turned into a sore.
Avatar f tn Make sure to take a good probiotic for that reason. Were you also diagnosed with trich? Sometimes that is treated with erythromycin. But otherwise, that is very odd to add that and I'd really like to know why.
Avatar m tn Does anyone have experience with non-prescription antibiotic ointments for bacterial (staphylococcal) folliculitis? Do they work?
Avatar m tn Well it turns out the Taiwanese eye doctor here does not think I have Blepharitis. Two of them said that. However, he also denied that there's no cure for it too, which I can't believe since ALL websites online say that there's no cure for Blepharitis and that it's chronic. So I am in doubt about the competence of doctors here. However, my symptoms fit it to a T.
Avatar n tn I was also diagnosed with Blepharitis 4 days ago by an ophtalmologist and asked if Blepharitis and uneven pupil sizes were linked and he said "not at all". I read on the internet that uneven pupil size may be a serious condition due to underlying causes, which sort of doctor should I see for this?
Avatar n tn I think you have blepharitis, as I have that same feeling upon waking, and I have been diagnosed with it. Just google blepharitis, and you can learn all the wonderful facts. Once in a while I develop a chalazion due to the blepharitis. Even though I use exceptional eye hygiene, use an antibacterial eye ointment, consume lots of flaxseed (recommended by my Dr. and good for everyone anyway) and use hot compresses regularly, I still average one a year.
Avatar n tn Usually but it takes time.
Avatar n tn I have Blepharitis, the only time my eyelids aren't red is for a while after I do the hot compresses, why is this? What can I do to keep them like this besides doing warm compresses every 30 minutes? I have seen specialists and opthmal.
Avatar n tn I have blepharitis and hashimotos and my eyelashes fall out but seem to grow back. They grow weird though and some of them come in white. It is so frustrating because I am not exactly sure why it happens if it's the thyroid or blepharitis. Anyone know? I am not hypothyroid so I don't know if hypo makes it happen or hashimotos or blepharitis.
Avatar n tn The eye Dr. told me I had a little blepharitis and to me it's a lot. My eyelashes are affected and I am cleaning them daily really no more crusting. My question is what is all the white stuff in the eye? I am using the drops helps a little but I can't seem to get all the white stuff to be gone. By the way, he never told me what kind of Bleph I have. After reading all this stuff here there is more than one kind.
Avatar m tn I've tried all the "remedies" for controlling Blepharitis, but so far nothing has worked. My left eye lid is the worse. Have there been any new drops or pills I might try. I tried Azaasite, but it made my eyes red and very dry. Thanks.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with posterior Blepharitis about a year ago. It started with chronic red eyes that at first was mistaken for pink eye. It also started in my left eye only. The initial diagnosis was holes in my cornea. We got that fixed and then the redness comes back a few weeks later in both eyes along with a feeling like something was in my eyes. I have done numerous eye drops, eye ointments, eye scrubs, eye compresses and there is no improvement.
Avatar n tn I have Blepharitis (seen a specialist a few times) and have been using the lid scrub, lidcare, sterilid products for more than 3 months now and it hasn't cleared up yet. How long does it usually take?
Avatar m tn I have a bad case of Blepharitis and my optician has prescribed Vigamox to be used for 7 days on my eye lids. I am on the 4th day and I don't see a whole lot of change in my eyelids. Is there something better than this? I also go to an Opthamoligist and he prescribed a salve, which also didn't work. I am putting hot compresses on everynight with a lid scrub (also not working.) I would appreciate any help you could give me. Thanks.
