Blepharitis and conjunctivitis? 2 months...

[icez71coy]

I have been back and fourth to my opthomologist about 3 times with this ongoing stuff for about 2 months. My last trip she prescribed me doxycycline hyclate 20MG for 30 days twice a day a long with making sure I scrub my lids ect. Since I have tried Zylet for a couple of weeks and it had no change. I have never had any of these problems before and I am 27. Does anyone know if this stuff will help or has anyone taken it? It is worse in the mornings and my eyes are bloodshot constantly. I am just trying to get over this before I go out of the country it is a pain. Thanks for any help or advice!

There is a cure for Blepharitis. I and a friend using 2 different products with Benzethonium Chloride in it got rid of it. It took months. I used WET ONES in the red box. Tore each one into 8 pieces and wiped each lid twice, four times a day. After a week or a little more went down to 3 times a day for about a month. The last two months I did it twice a day.

Three Doctors tried to find it in my eyes. Said it would come back. I said it had been 4-5 months.

My friend used an Avon Facial Scrub with Benzethonium Chloride in it. We can't seem to get any longer from Avon. Hope this info helps someone.
I used antibiotics 3 times in my eyes. Should have put them on the eyelashes and rubbed it in. The infection is in the roots of the eyelashes I discovered. That is why it takes so long to get rid of it.

Blepharitis is a chronic condition and for some very hard to control.  Key is removing oils from skin.  Use warm compress and clean the lids well initially two times per day.  Doxy does work.  Also, consider using Azasite to the lashes every night for a week.
