Blepharitis is a chronic inflammatory condition of the eyelid margin. Unlike acute infections, it requires a sustained management approach rather than a single short course of therapy.
Because blepharitis tends to be a recurring condition, the protocol prioritises a long-term, structured routine directed at the eyelid margin — with targeted interventions added when specific secondary complications are present.
First-line management is built around long-term eyelid hygiene — a multi-step cleansing routine applied to the lid margin. The full protocol defines the sequence of steps involved, the conditions under which additional topical therapies are introduced, and when adjunctive measures are appropriate. The complete regimen is available via the link below.
