  • Finding Good Information for Blepharitis & Eye Allergies

    Dear All,

    Three different ophthalmologists diagnosed me with Blepharitis and prescribed the usual treatment regimen including eyelid scrubs, steroid drops, etc.

    Unfortunately, it only got worse over the years. My eyes were always red - my co-workers probably thought I was drinking or smoking (I wasn’t). Dark bags under my eyes made me look 20 years older than I was, it was terrible.

    After suffering for five years I decided to read everything that I could find on Blepharitis and found two guides that changed my life! The first was an ebook written by Dr. Banerji called “How to treat Blepharitis & Eye Allergies and live symptom free”. I found it at blephguide.org. The second was written by Dr. Latkany on dry eyes.

    After reading these two books, I actually made an appointment in NYC to see Dr. Latkany. It turns out that while my symptoms were that of Blepharitis, eye allergies was the primary cause and was contributing to my problem. I then tackled my eye allergies with the help of an allergist and an allergy shot regimen, and after six months am finally living symptom free!

    Since everyone is a little different, finding comprehensive information is important. I wanted to tell everyone about these two guides, and also start a thread for people to list good information sources that they have found.

    I truly wish the same relief that I have achieved, for everyone that reads this posting.
    Blessings to all,
    Christine A, Florida.

    I've read both the guide and the book but have not really made huge progress since being diagnosed 6 months ago.

    The strange thing is that I've just come back from a week skiing and I hardly had any symptoms at all until I returned. In the last 24 hours the blepharitis has really flared up which makes me wonder if it is caused by an allergy since my diet has not changed.

    The air is much cleaner in the Alps than London but I also wonder if I've become allergic to dust, cat hair etc which is present at home.

    What did you turn out to be allergic to and what test did he perform to find out?

    Thanks

      relief while skiing

      I have relief of symptoms when skiing also. I am pretty sure it is the cold air that acts like an anti-inflammatory. Just like putting ice on your eyes makes them feel better...
