-Eye Mites and Blepharitis

-Studies have shown that people with blepharitis may get Demodex 2.5 times more than others. This significant correlation could indicate the role of eye mites in this ocular complication. Also, Demodex treatment usually improves the blepharitis symptoms.

Wet eyes
Red eyes
