Restoring Comfort & Supporting Long-Term Eyelid Health
Blepharitis is more than just a nuisance—it’s an uncomfortable, often chronic condition that can leave your eyelids red, scratchy, and inflamed. At See & Be Seen Eyecare, we help manage blepharitis with a personalized approach that targets the root of the problem: meibomian gland dysfunction, inflammation, and poor eyelid hygiene.
Whether you’re dealing with ongoing flare-ups or looking for long-term relief, we offer in-office treatments like BlephEx and professional guidance to help you reclaim comfort and clarity.
Don’t let irritated eyelids slow you down. Book an appointment at our Liberty Village or Midtown location today.
What Is Blepharitis?
Blepharitis is a common inflammatory condition that affects the eyelids, often caused by clogged meibomian glands or bacterial buildup along the lash line. While it doesn’t usually harm your vision, it can significantly affect your day-to-day comfort and eye health.
Some common blepharitis symptoms can include:
- Scratchy, irritated eyelids
- Redness and swelling
- A gritty or burning sensation
- Crust or debris on the lashes
- Watery or dry eyes
- Sensitivity to light
- The feeling of something in your eye
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s time to take a closer look at your eyelid health.
BlephEx: Professional Eyelid Cleaning
BlephEx is a gentle, in-office procedure that removes built-up debris, bacteria, and biofilm from the eyelid margins. Using a soft, rotating microsponge, we exfoliate your upper and lower lids to restore a healthy surface and reduce inflammation.
What to expect:
- Lasting results with maintenance every 3–6 months
- Quick (6–8 minute) procedure
- Numbing eye drops for comfort
- No downtime—you can return to your day immediately
LipiFlow: Heat + Pressure for Gland Relief
For cases of blepharitis linked to meibomian gland dysfunction, LipiFlow provides a deeper treatment option. This modern thermal pulsation system applies gentle heat and pressure to clear blocked oil glands, helping your eyes produce healthier, more stable tears.
Keep Blepharitis in Check with Daily Eyelid Hygiene
In addition to in-office treatments, we’ll guide you on maintaining your eyelid health at home. Simple steps, such as using warm compresses and lid cleansers or scrubs, can make a significant difference in preventing flare-ups.
We’ll help you find the right routine to support clear, comfortable eyes between visits.
FAQs About BlephEx
How long does BlephEx treatment take?
Typically, the procedure lasts between 6–8 minutes. However, depending on the severity of blepharitis, it may take longer to get optimal results.
What can I expect from BlephEx?
To keep you comfortable, we normally start by putting numbing drops in each eye. Then, we’ll gently apply the disposable microsponge along your lash line, removing any debris. After it’s removed, we’ll wash your eyelids.
After the treatment, you’re free to go about your day as usual.
How long does BlephEx last?
In most cases, BlephEx treatments take place every 3–6 months. However, if patients maintain a healthy hygiene regime, the time between treatments can be extended.
