Hi

I'm 20 years old and i have problem with my eyes. My doctor said me that i have blepharitis and i think that i have posterior blepharitis (MGD) because i don't see any scrubs, Redness of the eyelids . I make warm compress once a day and i apply azasite to the lid margin once a day for 4 week... I have photos which show my eye:

I saw that in my eye brows is scurf ( first picture) and my right eye hurts. In my right eye i see vein which goes from the conjunctiva and connected with other .

Its look like this and it hurts me:

There are other oral antibiotics if you need them. Remember this is a chronic problem and ongoing cleaning of lids with foam cleaners will be necessary to keep from flaring up.

We are not going to make a DX from photo.

Thank you for answer. I only think about last picture because my right eye looks like the same - http://www.fotosik.pl/pokaz_obrazek/9fd426a745f37a43.html

and i don't know what is it? I think that azasite and warm compress are the best medicament for MGD (posterior blepharitis) and oral tetracyclines have much adverse effects to me.

The treatment of MGD and regular blepharitis is not that much different and you are on the preferred medication. If it doesn't improve you may need oral tetracycline. Use the search feature and read the many posts about the treatment of blepharitis. Consider adding daily or every other day lid "medicated shampoo" with Ocusoft Foam lidcleaner or TheraTears Sterilid Foam eyelid cleaner both over the counter.
