Our Most Important FAQs For Blepharitis

Thinking about Blepharitis? It’s natural to have questions about what it can do for you. From vision improvements to advanced safety features, here are the key benefits and facts that will help you understand why more people than ever are choosing laser vision correction.

Blepharitis is an inflammatory condition of the eye. Blepharitis is a condition defined by inflammation around the edges of your eyelids. This occurs when your tiny oil glands near the base of your eyelashes become infected, often affecting both of your eyes.

At My-iClinic we can check if your symptoms are blepharitis and help you get treated quickly. The most common symptoms of blepharitis are:

  • The inflammation of eyelids
  • Redness and soreness of eyes
  • Frequent occurrence of styes
  • Lash follicles such as: Flakes and crusting around eyelashes
  • Eyelids sticking together when opening eyes
  • An uncomfortable itching in and around the eyes

Curing blepharitis may depend on the severity of your symptoms. If you are experiencing blepharitis symptoms you will need to have an in-depth eye assessment and consultation with our blepharitis specialist. Our Blepharitis treatments can be an ongoing course of treatment to ensure your symptoms don’t worsen into any other serious eye conditions.

How much does Blepharitis treatment cost?

Our blepharitis treatment costs are from £200 starting with your private consultation with our blepharitis specialist. Any additional investigations and assessments for your eyes may increase your consultation fee. Further eye examination will depend if your specialist identifies a more serious problem from your initial eye checks.

It can affect any age group at any time, although it is mostly common in children and over 50s. Many patients also experience repeated episodes. Although it can be sore and irritating, it’s not painful or contagious, and treatment for blepharitis is very straightforward.

With our modern ophthalmic equipment, our blepharitis specialist can check your eyes for the condition. If they confirm you have blepharitis, they will be able to prescribe you a course of treatment that will remission (reduce) your symptoms over time.

Blepharitis can be caused by a number of potential factors such as:

  • Too much bacteria growing in and around your eyelids resulting in a Bacterial infection (such as: staphylococcal).
  • Poor eyelid hygiene that can result in bacteria.
  • An allergic reaction or a dermatitis condition.
  • Blepharitis is more uncomfortable and unpleasant than it is painful. These symptoms can negatively impact your daily routine and we have a dedicated blepharitis specialist who can check your eyes and imminently start your treatment to help.
 
Blepharitis is a chronic condition and if left untreated, you may experience more complicated eye conditions and corneal problems in the future such as: intraocular inflammation, meningeal irritation, light sensitivity and blepharospasm. It is always best to get treated for Blepharitis to prevent the inflammation of the eyelids from getting worse. Our team is here for your comfort and we can help you through getting back to your routine without worrying about any negative blepharitis symptoms.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding care from start to finish I am writing this review on behalf of Mr. Alan Nathan Gershon (Mr G), whom I care for. At 95 years old, he attended myiClinic London on 12 August 2026 for a YAG laser procedure, which was initially planned for his left eye only. From the moment we arrived, every member of staff was welcoming, kind, respectful, and professional. We were treated with genuine care and dignity throughout our visit. A special thank you goes to Ms. Bola Odufuwa-Bolger, the Clinic Director and Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon. Her patient-centred approach was exceptional. During the assessment, she carefully discovered that although Mr. G's left eye had the thicker after-cataract, his right eye was also affected. The procedure took much longer than expected, but she remained patient, meticulous, and determined to achieve the best possible outcome. After the procedure, she felt the left eye might need to be redone. However, by the very next day, Mr. G's eyesight had improved remarkably. He now enjoys a renewed lease of vision—he can even read without his prescription glasses, something that has made an enormous difference to his quality of life. We are also incredibly grateful to Catalina Tomulescu, the Ophthalmic Technician, whose kindness and support were wonderful, as well as every member of the team who cared for Mr. G. As his carer, I left feeling humbled by the compassion, respect, and professionalism shown to us. Mr. G is deeply thankful for everything the myiClinic team has done. Thank you all for your outstanding work—please keep doing what you're doing. You have given a 95-year-old gentleman the priceless gift of seeing the world more clearly again.

My-iClinic in Whetstone, North London is, quite simply, the best. I went there for a bilateral cataract procedure, and the surgical team's depth of technical expertise, professionalism, care and empathy are all beyond compare. The results speak for themselves, but I will also do so anyway: following the procedure, I now have vision better than at any point in my life to date, even with contacts. All my thanks go to Bola and her team. My advice: if you have vision issues, do not waste your time going anywhere else- go to My-iClinic and say I sent you!!
