Blepharitis is inflammation of the eyelid margins. Lids turn red, itchy, sore or crusty, often with flaky skin at the base of the lashes. It is one of the most common reasons people see an optometrist, and it tends to come back.
The most effective thing you can do is a daily lid routine: warm, cleanse, protect. A warm compress softens blocked oils, a tea tree eyelid wipe or foam clears the build-up along the lash line, and an ointment keeps lids comfortable overnight.
Every product below was developed by an optometrist for exactly this. BetterScrub Eyelid Wipes and BetterLids Ointment are UKCA-registered medical devices. Not sure where to start? Most people start with the wipes, then add a SelfHeat mask.
If symptoms are severe, painful or affecting your vision, see your optometrist or GP.
Warm. Cleanse. Protect.
