I have been going to optamologist for couple months. I have Blepharitis, I have had it 20 years and never much problems with it.. Last couple years it been hard to manage. Especially last couple months. I wake in the morning and can barely open eyes because they so swollen, feel like sand paper, sting, and rims of eyes are pink in the morning.. It makes me feel miserable..
I was on 100 mg of doxycycline for 10 days.. Had side affects of doxy but getting ready to try 50 mg.. I do warm compresses 2 times a day, baby shampoo washes 2 times a day, refresh with omega eye drops once a day, eye love lid and lash cleaner once a day, it has diluted hydrochloric acid in it. Feeling frustrated with Optamologist because I don't think he's doing enough or helping enough..I am 53.. so I am wondering if my hormones during menopause could have made me worse since it 20 years never had hardly any problems except occasional itching.. Now it's affecting my life a lot..
