Slide 54 Lid Scrub Handout

• You have been diagnosed as having BLEPHARITIS, a common infection of the margins of the eyelids. Typical symptoms include redness, mucous in the corners of the eyes on awakening, burning, itching, and general irritation.

• It is a chronic condition, meaning that one treatment will not eliminate it! It must be taken care of on a regular basis, especially if you are a contact lens wearer, so that more serious infections do not occur.

• An excellent method of self treatment is to use Lid Scrub Pads. These are called Eye Scrub or Ocusoft pads and are available over the counter. Simply take a pad each night at bedtime, close one eye at a time, and gently clean along the lid margins for 20 to 30 seconds. Turn the pad over and repeat for the other eye. Do this at least________times per week. Continue doing it indefinitely, so that the condition and its complications will not return.

• If your condition is more severe, an antibiotic ointment will be prescribed. Apply the ointment to the lids after scrubbing, each night for the first ____weeks and then _____ a week thereafter.
