If you’ve been dealing with persistent and highly irritating blepharitis or dry eyes, you know how much they can impact your daily life. The discomfort, inconvenience, itching, and blurry vision that come with it can drive you crazy. SteriLid Anti-Microbial Spray might just be the solution you’ve been looking for.
Understanding Blepharitis
Blepharitis is not just a minor irritation; it’s a condition caused by an overgrowth of bacteria around the eyelids, leading to inflammation of the oil glands, redness, itching, crusty debris at the base of your eyelashes and eyelids and a constant need to blink and rub your eyes.
Blepharitis can be particularly challenging to manage, but if left untreated, it can lead to more serious issues like hordeolum (a bacterial infection of the oil glands) and chalazion (a bump on the eyelid). These conditions can be painful and may even cause your eyelashes to grow in unnatural directions, potentially scratching your cornea and creating ulcers.
Keeping your eyes clean
People with dry eyes tend to rub their eyes, a lot. Eye rubbing can cause inflammation and infection. Sterilid anti-microbial cleanser is ideal for the delicate skin of the eyelid.
It is very important to clean your eyes and maintain good eyelid hygiene, every day. SteriLid eyelid cleanser is a prescription-strength eye wash. It cleanses your eyelids and also helps in managing the symptoms of blepharitis and dry eyes.
Its gentle, no-rinse, soap-free formula effectively eliminates bacteria and build-up on your lashes, providing relief and it’s safe for daily use.
SteriLid – a natural disinfectant
One of the key ingredients in SteriLid is Hypochlorous Acid. This is a natural disinfectant already present in your immune system that your body produces to fight off infections. This natural powerhouse is used in various fields, including eye care, dentistry, wound care, and dermatology. Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl), significantly reduces the bacteria around the eyelids and eyelashes, controlling blepharitis and alleviating symptoms of chronic dry eyes.
How to use SteriLid
Using SteriLid anti-microbial cleanser is easy. It comes in a convenient spray bottle. The gentle formula cleanses away debris and bacteria, leaving your eyes feeling refreshed and revitalised.
Simply spray it onto a cotton pad, and gently spread it along your eyelids and lashes. The key here is to be gentle, don’t apply too much pressure. There’s no need for excessive rubbing or rinsing.
