Treatment of blepharitis
Blepharitis is a common eye disease. Its main symptoms include redness and swelling of the eyelids, itching, foreign body sensation, and increased droppings. Dr. Liu Hongshan from Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital has accumulated methods and experience in treating blepharitis through years of clinical experience. The following will introduce Dr. Liu Hongshan's specific methods of treating blepharitis from four aspects.
Daily care
Doctor Liu Hongshan stressed that the treatment of blepharitis should first be carried out with daily care. Patients should pay attention to eye hygiene and keep their eyes clean. Washing the eyelids with warm water or normal saline every morning and evening can effectively relieve the symptoms of blepharitis. In addition, patients should also quit smoking and drinking, avoid eating spicy and stimulating food, keep enough sleep, and avoid staying up late to improve their immunity.
Doctor Liu Hongshan also suggested that patients use warm water to compress their eyelids. Hot compress can promote blood circulation and alleviate the symptoms caused by blepharitis. The patient can use a clean towel dipped in warm water to gently apply it on the eyelid for 10-15 minutes each time, 2-3 times a day. If the symptoms are serious, the eye hot compress instrument can be used to speed up the hot compress effect.
In addition, Dr. Liu Hongshan also advised patients to avoid rubbing their eyes, do not rub and wipe their eyes, so as not to cause bacterial infection. Patients should also avoid contact with allergens, such as pollen, dust, etc., to minimize eye irritation.
medication
For patients with severe blepharitis, Dr. Liu Hongshan will prescribe some drugs for treatment. Commonly used eye drops include antibacterial eye drops, anti-inflammatory eye drops and anti allergic eye drops. Patients can use corresponding eyedrops according to the doctor's suggestions, but they must pay attention to the frequency and dosage of drug use to avoid drug abuse.
In addition, Dr. Liu Hongshan will prescribe acyclovir or antibacterial drugs for oral or external use according to the specific conditions of patients to help treat blepharitis. These drugs can effectively diminish inflammation and bacteria, reduce inflammatory reaction, and speed up the recovery of blepharitis.
physicotherapeutics
Patients with blepharitis are often accompanied by increased droppings, conjunctival congestion and other symptoms, which will bring great discomfort to patients. Dr. Liu Hongshan will use physical therapy to help patients relieve symptoms.
Doctor Liu Hongshan will use laser therapy, cold compress therapy and other physical therapies to deal with the condition. Laser treatment can reduce redness, swelling and itching caused by blepharitis, and accelerate the recovery of blepharitis. Cold compress treatment can alleviate the symptoms such as increased eyedropsy, conjunctival congestion, and alleviate the condition of blepharitis.
surgical treatment
For complicated cases of blepharitis, Dr. Liu Hongshan will consider surgical treatment. Surgical treatment can effectively remove the focus of the inflammatory site and achieve a complete cure.
Doctor Liu Hongshan will select appropriate surgical methods according to the patient's condition and needs, such as local excision of lesions, skin grafting, etc. After the operation, the patient needs to pay attention to rest, carry out postoperative care as instructed by the doctor, and return regularly to ensure the effect of the operation.
