Relief from Red, Irritated Eyelids Starts Here
Blepharitis is a common but stubborn condition that causes inflamed, itchy, or crusty eyelids. It can affect anyone, but it’s especially common in adults over 50 — and it’s one of the leading reasons patients come in with chronic eye discomfort. At Paradise Valley Eye Care, we provide targeted, lasting treatment for blepharitis with advanced diagnostics and personalized care plans that fit your lifestyle.
What Is Blepharitis?
Blepharitis is an inflammation of the eyelid margins, often caused by an overgrowth of bacteria, clogged oil glands, or underlying skin conditions like rosacea or dandruff. It can be chronic and tough to manage without expert help.
- Red, swollen eyelids
- Crusting or flaking at the base of the lashes
- A gritty or burning sensation
- Excessive tearing or dry eye
- Blurry vision that clears with blinking
While blepharitis doesn’t typically threaten vision, it can lead to recurring styes, dry eye syndrome, and chronic irritation if left untreated.
How We Treat Blepharitis at Paradise Valley Eye Care
Our approach starts with a comprehensive eye exam using high-resolution imaging to assess the health of your eyelids and tear film. Depending on your case, treatment may include:
- In-office eyelid hygiene treatments to remove debris and bacteria buildup
- Medications such as antibiotic or steroid eye drops
- Customized lid hygiene routines for home use
- Management of underlying skin conditions that trigger flare-ups
In some cases, we may recommend advanced therapies for meibomian gland dysfunction — a key contributor to blepharitis and dry eye.
