Overview
Surgical intervention is not the first-line treatment option for patients with blepharitis. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with complications, such as chalazion, entropion, ectropion, or horizontal eyelid laxity.[1][2]
Surgery
Surgery is not the firstline treatment option for patients with blepharitis. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with complications, such as chalazion, entropion, ectropion, or horizontal eyelid laxity.[1][2]
Intraductal Meibomian Gland Probing
Invasive orifice penetration and intraductal probing is usually reserved for patients with severe posterior blepharitis and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).[3]
Thermal Pulsation
Thermal pulsation system, which include LipiFlow have demonstrated significant improvements in both signs and symptoms of patients with meibomian gland dysfunction. Thermal pulsation provides heat and gentle pressure on the eyelid to liquefy and release obstructions in the meibomian glands.[4]
