Most people tend to neglect cleaning their eyelids and eyelashes. Because of this, many people show signs and symptoms of what is called anterior blepharitis. Unfortunately, anterior blepharitis can contribute to ocular surface disease and even dry eyes. Thankfully blepharitis removal is now easier than ever because of the many eyelid cleaning products that are available. Below are the products I mention in this video.

Do you clean your eyelids and eyelashes regularly? What do you use?
Very Informative, From now I will
@@jeevanjoseph4289 Yey!!! Glad ou liked the video!
Use a clean washcloth on my eyes
To be honest, I don't use more than makeup remover liquid, and only when there's mascara to remove. And no eye doctor has ever told me I should clean anything there, weirdly enough.
I've had great results with Aveeno baby daily moisturizing wash and shampoo , it's tear free for sensitive skin . Highly recommend it! I too had always used j&j baby shampoo but found it drying.
Happy Thanksgiving to you!!!✌🧡🦃🍂🍁👁
How come nobody ever tells you or shows you how to wash your eyelids until you have a problem? When I went to my eye doctor and was I told I had blepharitis I was to told to clean with systane lid wipes. They did the job and now I don’t neglect my lids 😀
Right. I don’t recall any eye doctor ever telling me to wash my eyelids/lashes in this way prior to having an issue. You would think that washing your face everyday and night would do the trick.
Good question. Most Doctors want to push meds not prevent illness. The good ones tell info like this to keep people healthy
Same here. 36 years later and they tell me this NOW. No Doctor nor Optometrist ever told me this until now when I have eye issues. SMH
Right? I've had this issue for two years, seen around 5 doctors, and the dryeyes subteddit was the FIRST place I even heard about this.
Yeah, it should be like brushing your teeth. People should know!
I'm 68 years old and never, until now, has an eye doctor told me to clean lids and lashes.
I complained to my eye specialist that thought I had an eye infection from like my pillow. He
never responded to me about this though I brought it up repeatedly. I started changing my pillow cases several times a week and that helped. I purchased a new pillow that helped more. I never considered eye hygiene itself. I'm saving this video to review.
My heart all but stopped watching the video. I have no words I could say except I wish I had known this years ago. I will not tell you personal horror stories. I will tell you although its likely much too late I am going out to look for the foam and budgeting for Nulids device.
Everything I've learned thus far on your channel absolutely has made a undeniable difference. I can only hope to not make things worse faster. Short off topic note: the biggest take away among many, my feeling unsafe driving due to floaters was not simply me not sucking it up, but something others had felt also I learned from listening to your videos. You really may have save other people's lives.
@@benbrown8258did he talk about floaters in a previous video? I am 63 and have floaters nowe in both eyes.
Thank you for not using amazon links. Amazon is becoming a monopoly and need to use other stores or will not have choices.
And Thanks for your videos, I just found you and I wish I lived near there, so I can get exam there.
I have had Blephritis since 2003. Flared up when I had tickets for a Dixie Chicks concert
Went to the concert in agony. Red sore eyes.
Next day saw eye doc and eye nurses told me Blephritis this is what you do
It was Boil water three times a day use cotton bud and water cooled but still warm
The warmth is important. Then clean eyelids bottom and top, also some eye drops
After 3 weeks I went back much better. I was then told. Clean eyelids twice a day
And given viscotears for dry eyes, so I have done this ever since. Had one flare up only
When I had some antibiotic eye drops then back on the Viscotears.
The eye test examiner says whatever you are doing keep on.
This is my experience and you only have to buy cotton buds and use a kettle twice a day
Egg cup full
Thank you for reading. Good luck all.
You've been more helpful than my eye doc. She's good; you're better. The simple solutions you've given have helped me with my blepharitis. TY
Wow thank you!!!
Best video on dry eye. I have had chronic dry eye for many years.
I want to thank you for this very informative video! I have been suffering yearly for well over 8 years years with styes during the fall season, always assuming I had had something irritate my my eye seasonally like an allergy. I sometimes had them occur following my yearly eye appointment. My eye doctor gave no help other than hot compresses and told me it was caused by “dandruff” on my eyelids and to use wipes. This year I had 2 very long lasting and painful styes, one in each in eye and decided to seek a better solution than hot compresses and weeks of painful enlarged lids. I found the over-the-counter acid spray product you demonstrated at my local pharmacy and within 2 days miraculous results and relief. 🙏🏻
Thank you! I’ve suffered from dye eye for quite some time and even went to my doctor. Never did she mention anything about cleaning my eyelids. And yet, when I wake up in the morning, my eyes are gritty and don’t want to function. You have explained clearly what my problem could be. Thank you, you are my hero!
I bought a kit on Amazon with the eyelid wipes and the spray and I use a lubricating drop and it's helped tremendously.
Could also be oxalates being dumped in your eyes during the night, in my case it only happens when I consume too many oxalates the day before.
After watching this video, I'm going to clean my eyes! 🙀 I'm just blown away that I NEVER heard anything about it before! Glasses at age 9 and now I'm 58!
I'm glad you found the video! Yea, it's really not talked about enough. Let us know how it goes!
Many thanks, Doctor! First time in my life I've seen this issue addressed. And so thankful for all your helpful options and links. Love the way you present + great channel layout, complete with chapters to go back and refer to. Nice work!
That's because it was probably a non-issue.
I am happy you covered this! I have been having terrible pain after my Eylea injections! Now they make sure to rinse my eyes after the injections,but often I have this sandy, gravelly feeling in my eyes that is disturbing! Usually lasting over 24 hrs. So I will definitely give these a try! I also have dizziness, which I read is a side-effect from Eylea. The doc finally told me they are calcium crystals in my middle ear! There is an movement you can do..the Eppley maneuver? I haven’t researched that yet, but I think chirps are familiar with it. Thanks for your great info!! 💕💕💕
Thank you! I have been dealing with dry eyes, and as the condition worsened, saw a specialist. I was diagnosed with Blepharitis. I am following the specialists instructions, which did not mention massaging the eyelids....I only learned about that through Internet Searches. But no one explained just how to do the massages. In the first of your videos you gave a very comprehensive tutorial on that submect. I will be watchig more. THANK YOU!!!!!
I never knew any of this and I’m 71 years old! Thank you and I’ll be watching to learn more!
So glad I found your videos. I have been in pain for over a year. Recently had Cornea surgery and now I believe my eye continues to burn(not as much as with a hole in my cornea) due to dryness. Thanks to your videos I found out about eye testing for dry eyes and through some of the links I was able to setup an appointment in my area! I was feeling completely hopeless the day I found that link and my appointment is tomorrow. I hope to get more definitive information through testing at a Dry Eye Center tomorrow so I can come up with a new eye routine that hopefully will give me better quality of life. Your videos are AMAZING!
Pro tip for folks who wear eye makup: double cleanse!
First cleanse should be oil based. It will break down even waterproof mascara and eyeliner. There are tons on the market, in the form of either a cleansing oil or a cleansing balm. If you don't have access to that, a plain, skin safe oil will do the job just fine (it's just harder to rinse off). No makeup wipe on the market can even hold a candle to the makeup removing abilities of an oil cleanser. Oil based cleansers usually don't have preservatives either (anhydrous products aren't ideal for bacterial proliferation), so there's no risk of preservatives harming the eye.
The second cleanse should be your regular eye cleanser, and it's usually water based. This gets the very last bits of oil and debris off of your skin and eyes. You should use a regular cleanser on your whole face even if you used the oil cleanser on your whole face - again, will remove any oily residue and debris.
Yes!
I used to get clogged me in onion glands all the time but I was not removing my make up well enough.
Now I am careful about it and also throw away eye make up every 6 months at least.
Or don’t wear makeup
@@marcusmvpgoat1236 well arent you smart! im impressed! 😐
As an aesthetician I approve this message 💯
@@dabordietryingsomeone’s really butthurt from my comment and was I wrong btw? Also your right I’m kinda smart I have a pretty good career
I'm glad you mentioned tea tree oil. I mix a little bit of tea tree oil in my face wash (just use on my eye lids, not my whole face). I do this in the shower. It has done wonders for my eyes. My eyelashes have grown back.
@UCyVSTFJpcKtWWgs0LJsOVsQ tea tree essential oil. With the face wash mixed in, it become similar to the shampoo in the video. The benefit to the way I do it is price and you can adjust the amount of oil used. My eye doctor uses pure oil, nothing to dilute it out. I found this to be to intense.
What face wash do you use to mix the tea tree oil in? And you use this mix just on your lids? I have had eyelash issues for the longest time and lack of them is a huge problem 🙃
Hi what face wash do you use please??
By any chance did u stumble to the eyelash solution? My have been falling out and the gap is very notorious:c
Sounds scary to put tree tea oil on your eyes, that stuff is very very strong. You are brave...lol
Wow this was incredibly helpful. No eye doctor ever gave me this information before. Thank you!
It’s also a good idea to wash your pillowcases frequently.
This is magic! I’ve been putting ointment on my eyelids and weighing whether this irritation is worth going to the doctor for weeks! As long as my symptoms keep being just a minor annoyance, I’ll wait for my order to arrive so i can start cleaning my eyelids and see if that helps!
I have always washed my eyebrows and eyelashes. I use Dr. Bronner's baby soap. I gently wash them and definitely take longer to rinse the soap off. I slowly open my eyes when I am done. But now that I see what you recommend for my eyelids, I am adding more to my eye care routine. Thank you for sharing.
Great video!! I must have gone to three different eye doctors and they just told me it was allergies. I did some research and your video popped up. You explained everything in great detail and offered a lot of helpful solutions...wish you were my eye doctor!
Thank you Dr. I was able to treat this ailment myself....as a nurse I had no idea about the build up and ensuring complications. BLESS
Amazingly husband is just mow developing a blepharitis condition and now up pops your helpful video!
I do the same thing you do with my eyelid wipes. After I wipe my lids I run it all across my forehead and face. I find it refreshing and cleanses really well.😊
I bought the Bruder eyelid wipes and spray solution off Amazon and it's worked really well for me. It's under $30 and that along with some good lubrication eye drops has really helped.
Sir, this video is so needed. Thank u so much. Many people don't do this.
Great info, especially for us false eyelash/ extension wearers👍
My eyelids constantly itch, the electronic cleaner looks heavenly! Definitely going to try 🤗
I really appreciate your videos!!! I was told I have Dry Eye and to go buy lubricating eye drops. That's It! So glad to have found your channel to learn how to take better care of my eyes!
That was my experience. Why do so many eye doctors do little more than get you to buy more products?
Thank you very much for your vid on this subject. I have ordered a product that you suggested. Grateful for your channel.
My eye doctor recommended a wipe with tea tree oil. They worked great but were expensive and hard to find. I found a glycerine bases tea tree oil soap at piping rock. I just use that to wash my face. Works just as well as the wipes.
I love the Zocular treatment that is done in the clinic-it’s so refreshing! Every eye doctor I know recommends the OcuSoft lid scrubs-all of them are great, the regular, plus, and allergy. What I usually do on a daily basis, at minimum, is get a warm damp washcloth and run it over my lids and lashes. I have oily lids and a little lash dandruff, so I have to clean my eyes when I wake up.
Thank you doc- been suffering from dry eyes for years and it really impacts my life. I will have to become vigilant at cleaning my eyes as I am one who is guilty for using liner in my waterline. Ugh. Amazing content. Blessings
What's wrong with liner at the waterline? 😶
Thanks for all the advice. This is a very interesting video.
Was identified with blepharitis when I was a kid and given eye drops. Of course was never taught that I should wash my eyelids and lashes every day. I guess I did because otherwise there was crusty stuff there. But ultimately over the years you are the first physician or eye doctor to clarify how important this is. I was shown eye wipes by one eye doctor, but the showing was a little bit limited information.
Excellent advice as usual, thank you.
I actually started washing my eyelashes when I got eyelash extensions. I was given a solution to use daily. I don’t wear eyelash extensions anymore, but I continue cleansing my lashes daily.
I stopped using baby shampoo since it uses sodium lauyrl sulfate, which is very drying. The skin around your eye is very thin and can become pretty flaky. The Hydrating Cleanser from Cerave is gentle and does not sting my eyes. The foaming version is probably fine, but suds require more water to rinse out and I want to avoid excess friction around my eyes.
But spray foams are okay since they are at already maximum lather. It's the SLS that keeps lathering up that it takes a lot of scrubbing to get it fully out.
Problem is most soaps tell you to keep AWAY from your eyes (for good reason, its irritating) not enough people are aware you can get gentle eye cleanser. I had to learn what works for me after developing ocular rosacea.
…so what worked for you?
Glad for the product knowledge. I suffer with pretty harsh (feels like to me) dry eye. My ophthalmologist never mentioned eyelash health, cleaning techniques, products... nothing. I even asked if something about my routine or diet or something could help. Nothing but eyedrops. Was having to use eye drops about 5-6 times a day for a while (more than ever). Saw your video about stimulating the meibomian glands. That's helped reduce the number of times I have had to use eye drops already by about half. Now that I think about it, it seems to eye drops just contributed to more dryness.
Same here, my eye doctor laughed at me and gave me a coupon for some eyedrops! This is good info that I've never heard before.
I started squeezing a 1/2 lemon into my drinking water everyday...it stopped the dry eyes from the very first day! It has something to do with salt/potassium in the lemon hydrating the cells. Whatever, I've been good for over a year now, but my lashes have been itching recently which is why I'm here.
My eye doctor also ignored how serious my dry eye problem is. Why are eye doctors like this so often??
I'm so grossed out but I needed to hear this.
Thank you so much dr. for this very informative session. I have a very dry eye. I’ll try this and hopefully it will alleviate my problem.,
Thank you for educating me on cleaning my eyelids. I’ve never paid attention to my eyelids and lashes.
Happy to help!
Great info. I am looking forward to trying the MyBo brush and one of tge cleaners. Thank you ❣
I have pink eye right now. Knowing that I've most likely had nasty eyelids and MITES in my lashes is definitely game changer! Life-changing vídeo, actually! Wish I had found this sooner.
pink eye is not the same. that's conjunctivitis. I thought so too. Dr gave me snti bacterial ointment.
Another thing I found is that using eye cream before going to bed dries my eyes out terribly overnight, so I had to stop. I think it seeps into the eyes even if I try to leave a gap. Thank you so much for this info.
Hey there Dr. Allen, Dr. Anderson (O.D.) here. This video is an energetically fun and enlightening CE (continuing education) program, as far as I'm concerned! Thanks!
I got chalesions(sp) on the inside of my eyelid not just once but twice and they are awful. Now I wash my eyelids and eyelashes with Cetaphil which absolutely does not irritate.
The info in this video is sooo good...great job👍🤗
I started having blepharitis at 20 ! I discovered because everytime I would put on contact lenses, it would flare up... So I stopped using them and now I have been cleaning my eyelashes with a lidwipe every single night !
Thank you for your recommendations.
I finally determined the reason why the posterior lenses of my glasses recurrently get an oily film on them. I need to clean my eyelashes and eyelids!
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much! Another informative video. So useful 🙂
Happy to help Jana! Thanks
Thank you for the information… I agree, educating people as you are 👍🏽
I've been cleaning my eyelashes for years. I honestly can't remember what made me notice that I had build up in my lashes and I was grossed out. I use a rag daily and run it along my top and bottom lash line and it lifts any build up out of my lashes. Especially because when we're sleeping crud tends to build up over night so I make sure to get all of that out in the morning.
Do you know of any wipes that will work? I’ve tried baby wipes that I lightly rinse with clean water but they still dry my eyes out and sting a bit.
I ride a motorcycle and get dust in my eyes and contacts and I try to clean my eyelids and lashes but nothing seems to work, especially nothing portable.
My only option is an eyewash kit and clean cloth at home, which isn’t always an option.
Any tips or recommendations would be appreciated a ton!
There was this girl who told me she was running late because her mom made her get a facial. No sooner did she say that did she rub the crud from her eye lids. Her face looked gross too.😮
I noticed when I first used a friend’s 10x magnifying mirror. 😮
@@DanteYewToobOld question, I realize, but for future readers; he had recommended OCuSOFT lid scrubs… there’s leave-on & wash-off available. I used for a couple of weeks until I saw total results. Still use occasionally, but have taken to scrubbing with salicylic acid daily, which maybe too harsh & drying for many.
Thank you Dr. Gor this very new information. I didn't know it this important information. Blessings
I was told to use Ocusoft eyelid scrub plus. Never seemed to 100% clear the issue and sometime the lid would still crack open. Reading my comments on the subject I tried advice from one person and it has cleared up my issue of over 6 years, within less than 30 days! I switched over to Systane lid wipes. Bought infant baby washcloths, also. Much better!
Lancome makes two great products sugar face scub and eye replenishing cream. I use both and they made. Tremendous difference. I can’t tolerate the eye drops. I also in the winter use home depot safety glasses sometimes when I am at home and the heat is on. Thus gives instant relief to dry eyes!
One eye doctor gave me a Rx, which helped. Another refused to, and wanted to plug my tear ducts instead. I declined.
No one suggested a cleansing regimen. I figured that out for myself.
Thank you for the PSA.
Wow! Thank you so much for this amazingly informative video!
You are so welcome! Happy to help!
Wipe my eyelids with Witch Hazel on a cotton pad. Very helpful during allergy season when used before going to bed.
I use my face soap to clean my eyelids/lashes. Since I have sensitive skin, I use a product that has worked great around the eyes. My favorite has been the All About Clean foaming cleanser from Clinique.
Thank you so much for this video! You explain everything so well and make it easy to understand. Only question I have is will I have any problems with any of the products mentioned, if I have ptosis of my eyelid? My eyelids don't completely close and not sure if any of the products you mentioned will bother the eyeballs 👀 themselves. I have tried so many things mentioned in the beginning and nothing is helping. Thank you for your recommendations!
You have amazing information better than my eye doctor!!!
Doctor, a video on Orbital Decompression would be so cool 🙏🏼
Thank you for your videos
They are so helpful 😢!
Thanks for doing videos ive had dry eyes since my 40s fab info
Glad it is helpful!
Lol thanks for shedding light on blepharitis! It is weirdly hard getting consistent information online about it.
I am so impressed with your knowledge! And you are so thorough!!! I have been dealing with blepharitis for over 25 years!! It’s such an awful, annoying and exhausting condition! Seems like I can’t ever truly get it under control. Wondering if eyeliner or eye pencils should be avoided? I do wash my face every night. I do eyelid scrubs when I can but have been using Baby Shampoo! I will need to try some of the products you suggested. I have a question in regard to the eyelid spray. Do you still need to scrub/wash your lashes? Or do you simply spray? I will be checking out your links. Thank you for all the information!!! 😊😌
Wow over 30 years ago I had an eye doctor tell me I had blepharitis. I have been dealing with eye redness and irritation ever since. Not once since then has an eye Dr told me about cleaning my eye lids to reduce redness, inflammation and dry eyes. I hope this works.
Also clean your eyelash curlers and eyelash combs before every use people. Also throw out mascara after a few months after opening even if there is product left in the tube
There is so much to talk about when it comes to eye makeup! I'm planning to make a video about this soon.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thanks! I’m excited for it! I’ll make sure to send it to my companions and colleagues who don’t take me seriously when I say makeup and a makeup tools are generally safe but become unsanitary SOO easily without proper care. It’s even worse if you wear contact lenses without proper makeup hygiene. 😰
And those powder brushes that you swipe your entire face with day after day.
And eyeliner and shadows
I played this video very loudly so my 23 year old son could hear it. He's one of those people who wears his monthly contacts for 3 months and has red irritated eyes. Great video!
That's a good way to go blind...
Jesus is the truth
@@Akira-jd2zr Jesus is the truth
@@ElegyVio Prove it
That is how you end up with dry eye disease. I wish somebody told me. I would have never even started wearing contacts. Now my life revolves around eye drops and warm compresses.
Thank you so much for the tips.
Yes, thank you doctor! I have now become so afraid of using eye drops due to the non preservative eye drops that caused vision loss & death. Do you have any idea how we can maybe avoid this in the future? Anyway, I prefer gels as well. I use GenTeal gel for dry eyes. I also stopped using eye wash & now use distilled water on a cotton ball after sleeping & before using anything else. Thank you.
Wow - I've been wearing glasses for about 40 years, and I don't recall any eye doctor discussing this topic with me! I've learned something new! Thanks for this, and I'll ask at my next eye exam.
In a future video, please also address care of the eyes and the entire area when undergoing chemo -- the eyebrows and eyelashes fall out, and there can be a lot of extra irritation to the eyes because of that.
I'm glad this was helpful! Thank you for the great suggestion.
Graeat information ... thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I've tried the Myboclean system and I really like how it feels (other cleaner foams sting) . Myboclean is really inexpensive and easy to use and take when travelling.
Thanks for sharing! Yes, I've really been liking it as well. Glad you like it!
Hi, Karen here, I wanted to thank you for these AMAZING tips ! I have a lot of allergies to dust and cats, the warm compresses have helped me, I’m going to get the products you mentioned for allergies today, the eye wipes, and the solutions you recommended!
Pataday is a great OTC allergy eyedrop
@@Akira-jd2zr yes I just got it yesterday 👍
Also Pataday can still be purchased by prescription, it was a LOT cheaper that way for me! As it is expensive over the counter ! Hope this helps some folks save some $$$
@@CrazyHorseFarm643 great idea!!
Great information!
Thank you so so much for these videos
Thanks Al. Love from London
Thank you for the tips 🎀
Great advice.
Very informative, thank you. What would be the recommendation for demodex? Other than prescription strength antibiotics, Ocu Soft, & warm compression all day. Thanks
I use the wipes but I half them using one half for my right eye and the other half for the left. I also use baby shampoo to wash my face and eyes in the shower. Three times a day I use optase spray close my eyes and spray onto my eye lids leave for a minute and pat dry with a different tissue for each eye. I also use eye lash brushes to remove any dandruff like material before I apply any treatments I purchase in bulk from Amazon . I can’t wear eye makeup as my eyelashes are spars since Blepharitis. I also change my pillow case daily. I have autoimmune diseases and my optician says that my weak immune system could be a factor.
Thanks Dr for this great information ❤❤
Always happy to help!
In the shower I don't really use anything specific, remnants of body wash more than likely but I let the water run over my head after washing my hair and clean around my ears, nose, eyes and my face in general.
Good tip DR thank you
Nice one Doc.
My last eye doc when we lived in another state, didn’t mention this condition, addressed my itchy eyes, he thought it may be allergies and suggested removing eye makeup nightly. And to clean with baby shampoo. I think he’d rethink that now. But I will find some eye cleaners, thanks!
I have Ocular Rosacea and my eye doctor advised me to wash my eyelids daily. Of the products described in this video is there one that is best suited for my condition? It's a struggle to find products that help clear the oil ducts without irritating my skin. Thanks. Your videos are so helpful.
Dr Allen, I’m a little stunned how you knew I’ve been having this problem for about 3 weeks now!
Who Knew, Blepharitis! I’m gonna try one of the topical treatments you recommended and Thank You for taking the time to explain something that must be common but honestly I’ve worked in healthcare for 36 yrs and never heard of this condition! I guess it’s time to start using the dry eye drops I was given too.
Dr Allen, You’re a Godsend! Keep Doing What You Do!
I'm so glad this was helpful! Thank you so much for sharing!
Dr Allen, RUclips just notified me that you responded to my comment 2 months ago. Thought you’d like to know that after using a generic CVS brand of eye wipes with Tea Tree Oil for about a week along with Dry Eye drops still daily, my condition has gone away. Now I pay more attention to washing my eyelids everyday.
Great DX and even better Remedy💯
Thank You and Blessings Dr A!
Please keep doing what you do. I acquired blepharitis after cataract surgery I have lens implants I also get frequent chalazions even though I do a daily eye scrub morning and night. I have recently started moist heat eye mask in the morning I’m getting more relief,I use Ocusoft eye cleanser. Is there any thing else I can be doing? Is it safe to massage your eye lashes when you have lens implants? I have got more information from your video than my doctor. Thank you!
Thank you for this!
My pleasure!
I’ve been dealing with dry eye, and wiping with the Avenova spray has made a difference in how comfortable my eyes feel throughout the day. It’s also prevented stinging that I would occasionally get from putting drops in, which I assume was caused by some remnant skin cream or oil. I’ve never tried really rubbing at the base of the eyelashes, though. Would a Q-tip wetted with Avenova be a safe tool to begin with? Okay on the waterline, too?
Me too on the Avenova on all counts
Nice review about the eyes 👀 👌
Great information; I did not know one can have all the stuff in the eye lashes and lid. I’m going to look more closely 👁
Great video 👍
Wish I had seen this video years ago! Thanks!
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful.
Is there an eye cream that contributes to cleaner eyelashes and eyelids? Or any cream that you can recommend for eye area in general?
