What Is The Treatment For Left Eye Blepharitis?

I've been to 3 doctors & all of them diagnose my left eye blepharitis as bacterial, also been on Tobradex & Maxitrol for almost 2 mos. now..infection's improved, but never cured. I also have seborrheic dermatitis & had HSV infections before, furthermore; a procedure has been done on my right eye a couple of years back due to meibomian blockage.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having multiple problems of the eyelid in the form of blepharitis, seborrheic dermatitis, herpes simplex infection and meibominitis.
Hence this requires examination to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.
The common supportive treatment is by use of antibiotics, lid scrubs.

Thank you
