What does 'eyelid hygiene' even mean?

Just like washing your face and brushing your teeth, ideally you would spend a deliberate moment everyday to clean and be sure that your eyelids - especially at the roots of eyelashes - are clear of debris, make-up and oils produced by the lids.  However in reality, everyone is busy and lids are low priority.  The deliberate cleaning of eye lid margins often does not occur unless there is an issue.

Why it is important?

Failing to be deliberate about eyelid / eyelash line cleaning ultimately leads to different levels of an inflammatory problem of the lids called blepharitis.  This condition causes symptoms of itchy lids, stickiness or crustiness of lids, fluctuating vision, light sensitivity, dry eye and potentially immune system activation in the cornea causing eye pain.

What are the top clinic grade products to help?

Leave on products:  These wipe products offer convenience and are easy to use as there is no need to rinse off after application.  Use them anywhere, anytime.

What about Demodex? 

Demodex is a particularly nasty, stubborn form of Blepharitis.  It is difficult to self-diagnose but if you have been told by an eye doctor that you have demodex, these are our clinic-grade solutions to help.

Important!  This products are best used at bedtime.   Leave the solution off the wipes on lids overnight.
