Course Description
This course will focus on the eyelids and all the nasty and unsavory creatures that affect eye health. The advent of new diagnostic equipment has enabled clinicians to make point of service differentiating. Treatment options can range from over the counter management, to prescription medications, as well as office procedures. Getting the lids right will make the vision tight.

Pathophysiology ofMeibomian Gland Disease
• Normal meibomian gland secretions convert from
unsaturated lipids that melt at body temperature
to saturated fats that inspissate the meibomian
glands
• Lid bacteria secrete lipases that break down lipids
from soaps to fatty acids
![Page 23: Doctors of Optometry | Course Notes of Optometry | Course Notes OD2 ... Avenova NovaBay Avenova with Neutrox ... Rosacea and Demodex? • Rosacea and demodex](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022008/5addd64e7f8b9a8b6d8d77cf/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

The Biofilm
• Biofilm: A biofilm community can be formed by a single
bacterial species, but in nature biofilms almost always
consist of rich mixtures of many species of bacteria in a
polysaccharide matrix
– Thrives in moisture
– Smooth surface

Seborrheic Blepharitis
Seborrheic blepharitis is caused by
seborrheic dermatitis, a skin condition that
creates flaking and scaling — including on the
eyelids. Regular cleansing with eyelid scrubs
can provide significant relief and improve the
appearance of eyelids.
Signs and Symptoms
Red, irritated, itchy eyelids and the formation
of dandruff-like scales on the eyelashes.

Need More Eyelid Relief
The root cause of anterior blephartitis is the
overproduction of oils. Mild surfactants in
OCuSOFT® Lid Scrub® PLUS eyelid
cleanser act to dissolve and remove oil,
debris, and desquamated skin. Other
formulas do not.
Hypochlorous Acid is produced by white
blood cells as part of the body’s natural
defense mechanism against pathogens.

What Is Hypochlorous Acid?
Hypochlorous acid is a weak acid that is
formed when chlorine dissolves in water.
Its chemical formula is HOCL. An acid is
a pH below 7 (neutral). Above 7 is
considered base/basic or alkaline. Tap
water is generally a pH of 7 whereas
citric acid from lemons is highly acidic at
around a 2. The pH of HOCL is between
6-7.

Inflammatory Dry Eye Alters the Tear Film
Dry Eye Disease reduces mucins, and alters concentrations of growth factors and tear proteins1,2. Fewer tears can lead to increased inflammatory output from the lacrimal gland, which can cause ocular surface damage and altered tear production. The resulting chronic inflammatory stimuli can then lead to further decreased tear production3-5

Treatment Goal:
• NOT to eradicate 100%
• Want to knock down the “load” and reduce symptoms

• Like to see some visible reduction in cylindrical
dandruff
• Improve redness profile of eye, lid and face
