Comprehensive Assessment

Every blepharitis journey begins with a detailed consultation. We use advanced imaging and slit-lamp examination to:

  • Assess the eyelid and lash margin health
  • Evaluate meibomian gland function
  • Detect Demodex mites or other contributing factors
  • Identify any associated dry eye disease

Personalised Treatment Plans

Depending on your specific condition, treatment may include:

1. Lid Hygiene & At-Home Therapies

  • Warm compresses
  • Lid scrubs and foams
  • Omega-3 supplements
  • Personalised eyelid cleansing routines

 2. In-Clinic Treatments

We offer in-practice treatments for moderate to severe blepharitis or MGD, including:

  • BlephEx®: A deep-cleaning, in-chair procedure that removes biofilm and debris from the eyelid margins
  • IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy: Targets inflammation and meibomian gland dysfunction
  • Meibomian gland expression to unclog and restore gland function

3. Anti-inflammatory Therapies

Prescription drops, ointments or oral antibiotics may be recommended depending on the severity and type of blepharitis.
