title: EyeScrub: simplifying the management of blepharitis.
abstract: 1. The cause of blepharitis is still a mystery, and, consequently, a cure for this condition does not exist. Patients suffering from blepharitis must be made to understand this and that it is a manageable condition. 2. EyeScrub provides cleansing of the eyelashes and lid margins. Good lid hygiene is crucial to controlling blepharitis. Performed daily in tandem with other simple procedures, EyeScrub removes the oily buildup under the lashes and in the lid margins which causes the eyes to become irritated and encrusted. 3. The application of EyeScrub is simple and does not damage the ocular surface. Lint-free pads allow the patient to feel exactly where the pad is contacting the eye area so that the solution can be applied effectively and harmlessly.
