2 weeks in to a 3 month course of doxycycline and there's a definite improvement already, my eyes aren't as sticky, crusted, red or watery as they were, I've got another 2 weeks of 100mg a day, then 2 months of 50mg a day, it seems to be working so far.Replied By Helen Watson (Co.durham, England) on 04/23/2015
I have completed a 2 month course of doxycycline, 100mg a day for 1 month, then 50 mg a day for 1 month, I put lacrilube ointment in both eyes at night, and the blepharitis has gone, I urge all sufferers to give it a try.Replied By Mirella ( Miami) on 05/16/2015
Do you put the honey in the whole eyelid or just in the eyelid margins? Does it gets into your eyes ? How long do you leave it. Thank you for your helpReplied By Doreen (Middlesex Uk) on 12/20/2015
Many years ago I was diagnosed from Moorfields eye hospital with Blepharitis, and put on 2 X 50mg of doxycycline for 8 weeks. I was feeling better and went to pick up my second months supply only to find the GP wrote me up for a 100mg. strength dose which made me so ill I had to come off this. I had thus wasted taking this for 4 weeks and now off the medication. I have just been left in a more severe condition. No GP can sort this out disregarding my inability to take a 100mg. tablet. So I am from today ordering 3 bottles of Blephasol to cleanse my eyes and then a lubricant gel for the dry eyes to see what works. I also will try the heated mask. My burning of the eyes is severe as is the stickiness so I have to try something that works better than the NO TEARS Baby shampoo which is tedious to use. Consistency is the key to keeping on top of cleansing the eyelids which is what is needed in this eye disorder of Blepharitis.
