male blepharitis

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

Hi ,
I have recently been diagnosed with Blepharitis-and reading up on it seems to be prrdominantly a "female" disease-just wondered if there  were any other msle sufferers?
Also i have problems with the usual suspects air-conditioning etc but i work shifts and find that when my eyes get tired they play up-doctors etc i have seen say this isn't caused by blepharitis-just wondered if anyone had any views or had suffered similar. Also does anyone know where i can get all enclosed glasses from- have read about them in American books but oonly found one place in UK and my glasses prescription is too high to have a pair made.When i see doctor /optician they just don't seem bothered by it and have just been left buying over counter eye drops.
Any help appreciated
Thanks Steve

	Dear Steve Blepharitis is equally male and female We do not recommend the enclosed steaming glasses, they are expensive and impractical compared with our choice of Mr Teifi James' warm compress mask. best regards Claire
