Dandruff like scaling on eyelids

2018-08-05 12:06:53
I suffer from dandruff like scaling on my eyelids. I visited a local opthalmologist and he prescribed me to use baby shampoo and Occupol D ointment. But the problem is persistent even after using it for last 4 months. Recently I read that this condition is called demodex blepharitis and can be cured by using Blephoclear eye wash. Please share your experiences in the matter.
