WHAT IS DISCUSSED IN THIS VIDEO
With increasing age, about 100% of people with have demodex living on their face and eyelids. Among the 65 species of demodex, 2 are commonly found on the face and eyelid skin; demodex folliculorum and demodex brevis. These face and eyelid mites can cause a lot of issues and problems if they grow out of control. They have been linked to rosacea, ocular rosacea, blepharitis, puffy eyelids, dry eyes, and more. Among the people that have blepharitis, nearly 7 out of 10 of those cases, are caused by demodex, called demodex blepharitis. There are a few remedies and treatments that can be effectice, including: tea tree oil wipes or cleansers, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), or medications like a new drop called Xdemvy.

the fact that its being recognized as a real issue after 20 years of mainstream denial is astounding
Reminds me of when "they" were adamant you -couldnt- catch anything from using a public toilet seatð
What Denial???? I have been hearing about it for 40 years
This info about the mites has been around as long as I can remember. >50 years.
@@sickofcrap8992 yes but doctors deny its existence. as someone who suffered without any help I know the info was hidden online for a long time
Mainstream seems to be the dead past stream
Besides all the suggestions in the video, just wash your eyelids eyelashes morning & evening with Baby Shampoo. It has worked for me for more than 3 decades and counting.
I agree, Baby Shampoo got rid of it for me as well
WebMD offered tea tree with. Coconut cream. But, did not require a repeated application.
I went back to read again and actually saw the following. "You may have to accept that you will not eradicate them until the lashes are gone".
Exactly , my mum was told by an ophthalmic surgeon after having her eyesight corrected , to pop some Johnsons Baby Shampoo on a cotton bud and pull it along your eyelashes . It doesnt sting either . It works perfectly.
Your right, but for someone that has a bad case of mites it can be terrible. Mine were bad before I got them under control. Now I do baby shampoo and a hot mask at night.
I believe that this is true. Sometimes my eyes burn and even get blury. I thinkðĪ I now know because of this video the culprits! Dam paricites! â Das ð all!
Young man ( I say that because I am almost 88 yrs old), YOU are one of the âGood Guysâ - to create and post a program such as this. May God bless you richly!
Thank you! Very kind of you to say.
I use my Ivermectin 1% cream called Soolantra.
I use it for my rosacea, and rub some all over my eyes too! My doctor prescribed it for me, and now No more rosacea, and no more eye mites. Iâve been using for years and my skin looks great, and no more itchy eyes.
Thank youð
Same for me, fab product isn't it? Life changing for me.
@@tishb62 thatâs great!!! Question: did you catch Covid and if so did you have symptoms? Just curious.
My eye mites started building up after my cataract surgery. I could actually feel them moving around. I searched the internet and found eye mites and immediately knew I had them. Ivermectin cream once then the next week took care of them or at least got them under control. No more problem a year later and if they regrow I know what to do. I believe the topical antibiotics from the eye surgery cleaned out some bacteria that were limiting the mites.
OCuSOFT has come out with a lid wipe to directly target this condition. it is the OCuSOFT Lid Scrub Oust with tea tree oil for Demodex conditions! Works very well. I purchased at CVS. Highly Recommend!
Thank you! ð
Hi, all i know was my eye lids were always red, had what i thought was sleep in my eye lashes and suffer dry eye to the point i couldn't do anything because my eyes were watering all the time for up to good 30 mins, i was advised baby shampoo, how awesome it can't hurt me cause it's for babies, the trick is to wet eye lashes, put some baby shampoo on 2 fingers, enough for both eyes, rub the opposite fingers, then apply to eyes, wash in at all different angles to free up the crust, massage for anywhere up to 5 mins, the longer the better i feel, i used it till my eyelids were normal again, after that everytimes i saw redness return, i would treat again, now i haven't had to treat again for a long time. The baby shampoo has low ph so it doesn't burn as bad, it doesn't dry the skin out either and lastly it's cheaper than most products. I hope this help someone, like this vid helped me understand the unknown. In a way it's like having dandruff only on ur eye lashes...
I heard about using baby shampoo many years ago. I do this treatment a few times a month, just in case! The thought of these things on me is horrifying but I know most people have them. Now that I just watched this video I think Iâll do it tonight! Lol
They donât bother anyone. Leave them alone. Theyâre the only friends some people have.
Freeloading friends that don't pay rent are no friends of mine.
This video was mitey interesting.
ð
I see what you did there.ð
Iâve been experiencing Bleparitis when I turned 50 so itâs been 6 years. What has helped me prevent the awful eyelid inflammation and infections has been what my ophthalmologist recommended: use Ocusoft Lid Scrubs pads rt after removing makeup, wash with baby shampoo and use Thera tears Antimicrobial eyelid cleanser just spray on eyelids or on a pad and do not rinse it.
This has the making of a Sci-Fi movie.
Castor oil works great! Helps lashes grow healthy and strong without parasites, and even reduces wrinkles. Non-toxic too!
I remember studying this during my undergrad. We all started thinking we were infected. Lol
I used coconut oil mixed with 1 drop of tea tree oil rubbed in my face for a few days and problem solved!!
I used to have bad dry eyes- felt like someone stabbed a needle in my eye. My ophthalmologist suggested intentionally washing my eyelids with baby shampoo or gentle soap while in the shower. Use a small amount and gently scrub your eyelids and then rinse completely. I have not had an issue with "VooDoo Doll Needle in the Eyes" in a few years now!
Best remedies 3:16
List: tea tree oil, eyelid wipes, castor oil, vasoline, Manuka Honey, Mybo clean (has coconut oil) Intense pulse light, (Prescription, expensive - Ivermectin ointment, xdem Vee)
This caused terrible eye irritation for me. I was seeing an opthalmologist for 4 years every 3 months without it making any difference. I suffered for years until one day I read about this. I bought Heydrate eye lid cleanser - problem solved.
@@f.frederickskitty2910 , yes! I just got some a few weeks ago and it is fantastic! No eye irritation or burning whatsoever. I wash my whole face. Got it on Amazon.
@@f.frederickskitty2910 you think the eye doctor would know about face mites???? They should, but they donât or theyâre just trying to make more money off of people!
Coconut oil, Vaseline on eyelashes, use tea tree oil on hair follicles massage with coconut oil in scalp and ears
I have used a tea tree shampoo on my hair when I was losing some hair, and it fixed my eye irritation as well. I washed the foam over my eyebrows and eye lashes when washing my hair. In fact I wash my entire head and facial skin pores with the foam while Iâm washing my hair.
Tea Tree shampoo does sound a good idea. Iâve used a mild Tea Tree soap successfully for these annoyances. They seem to appear when Iâm over consumed with other problems/issues but Tea tree soap is effective. Itâs just remembering to keep up with it !
Tea tree oil burns.
@@sr2291yea it does in its concentrated form,but as the Dr said, if diluted to a form you can tolerate it is fine. A drop, when diluted can spread far.
Iâve known about the Demodex mites for a long time, but I didnât know there was a way to get rid of them. So thanks for the information ððŧðĨ°âžïļ
I've been using castor oil. My eye doctor was surprised how good my eyes looked at last cleaning and asked what I was doing. It's always given my good eyelashes and eyebrows growth too. I put on eyes then sit with heat om eyes.
If these demodex are mites , one thing ive noticed about mites in gardens that they quickly become immune to pesticides, so what ive noticed is if you treat for mites with a pesticide you need to hit them a day or two later with an entirely different pesticide and it usually wipes them out. , since these are on the body you probably can only use certain things but if you use basically the one two punch like with pesticides you might have greater success. So maybe tea tree oil one time and something else a day or two later.
Use diatomaceous earth in the garden to kill mites or other bugs that eat fruit. Spray or powder but only when there is no flowers. You donât want to kill bees. Protect your eyes from DE powder by wearing glasses.
I found that caster oil worked great!
I had these symptoms in my eyebrows! I knew it was blepharitis, I knew it was a microscopic critter. A naturopath switched my immune response on and gradually, it/they went away. Many of your suggestions helped :)
I struggled with Rosacea and dry eyes for years, the only thing that worked for me was ivermectin cream. My skin is finally clear and my dry eye is so much better. Dry eye still creeps up now and then. Throw away the mascara tube the second you see it coming back .
The dangers of tea tree oil are way understated here. If the concentration is too high it can cause serious damage to the eyes.
My sons pediatrician saw my allergy eyes and gave me a great remedy.
Born in north no allergies..as teen we moved south, lots of allergies.
My eyelashes fall out, wake up gummy eyes.
Doctor told me rose water or Baby shampoo..one little drop in palm of clean hand, add a little water, lather it into your closed eyes and rinse.
It cleaned it up right away and no red eyes. Eyelashes grew back and it never came back,
I never wore mascara bc of this.. I did use eyeliner..no problem..when was young I would do this once a month to keep it away, later moved to a northern country no allergies.
But I stil now and then clean my eyes. My brother same problem.
Tea tree did nothing for me and made my eyes oily.
Just use baby shampoo add a little water, wash and done. No side affects.
I say just use good old sea salt boil the kettle put the salt and water in bowl let it cool a bit get cotton wool pad your good to go! Feels very refreshing too! Your welcome.âŪïļâĪïļðĪ
That sounds Good to me !
New phobia released for meðŪ
Castor oil on lashes....side benefit? Eyelashes grow like crazy!
Thank you!!!!!
I had a very bad case of this throughout my entire youth and it went away as soon as I moved away from that house! I figured there was something in the house causing this condition for me as nothing worked in cleaning it up, and it was super embarrassing!
Blepharitis is caused by ducts getting blocked. Blink ten times. Towards the end can you feel moisture, thatâs the ducts opening. To begin with, blink 40 times 5 times a day for two weeks. Then as things improve reduce but keep the morning and one before bed regimes going. I now blink about 100 times in bed just before I go to sleep and have been blepharitis free for four years now. No, treatments just normal soap night and morning no product ever worked for me. Let me know how you get on after a couple of months.
Wish one of the lame dermatologists would have mentioned about face mites to me before in the last 30+ years!!! ðĄ
You have Me scratching My head now.
I used hydrogen peroxide morning and night. I figured I got something because my dogs sleep with me. It takes about a week and I wash the pillow cases and sheets
Doctor, you may find that your Manuka honey cream is just made with plain honey. The manuka honey production is only a few tons per year from New Zealand, however at this time, there are 10 times more fir sale in the world. They are obviously just standard honey. The real thing, which I purchased from NZ is very dark brown, very thick but not solid, and does not taste that nice.
A good natural way to get rid of these mites is to boil some fresh rosemary in water and use it as compresses once cooled down. If you don't have any fresh plants, get some essential oil and mix it with water or eye cream.
I also find that real Manuka honey smells awful.
@@OceanDreamer59 , it does not smell of honey at all! However, you can always tell if it's the real thing, when you have a bad throat and after just one tablespoon, it clears it.
Most complete explanation of pathology and current treatment of Demodex I have seen. Thank you. Currently using Ivermectin cream.
I have been suffering with blepharitis for well over 2 years. It sucks! So ty for the info.
Iâm so confused! My eye doctor hasnât recommended any of these, going to your other video, Thanks so much. Why do Doctors all say different things!
Wash your eyes and lids with baby shampoo. I got rid of the irritation of my eye lids by washing my eyelids gently at night in the shower. Then used Cereve eyelid cream. Just an inexpensive way that may work for some. This suggestion came from a doctor also.
The first question would be,how come??????
What makes the overgrowth??
Lacking something in your body?? I would start the investigation right thereâĪ
We have all sorts of creatures that live on us and inside of us and eat our crud. ðĪ·ââïļðĪ·ââïļðĪ·ââïļ
Probably because your immune system is weakened. Many seniors get way more affected by this "condition" because their bodies can't keep the mites in check so an over abundance of them cause issues - rosacea, eyes, hair loss, etc. We always have some of them on our skin but we keep in controlled through youth.
I suspect people don't shower and shampoo hair every day so they get these.
What about red light therapy? I ordered a red light box online and I use it for 3 to ten minutes every morning. Iâm sleeping better and I have less dry eye and swelling around my eyes.
I had it bad, in my eyebrows. .on my face! Ugh! I used a demodex foam from Amazon.. NOVEHA DEMODEX EXTRA STRENGTH FOAMING CLEANSER. Fixed it all so fast! I used it twice a day . I even used it on my French bulldog. Good luck!
Thanks so much for this treatment analysis! In 60 yeaes, have NEVER had an eye doctor who ever took me seriously about my eye issues...drives me so crazy, i pull my eyelashes out.
Have never been able to wear mascara, or other eye makeup. Only relief i ever get is washing face multiple times a day.
Once i got the 'trashcan diagnosis', MS, everything is now written off as another symptom. Basic eye drops help, but never knew there were actually treatments to end the mite infestation i now suspect has buggered me for years.
Thank you again. Something to pin down the eye doctor on next visit...but will be reviewing your info, trying some of the solutions.
And much appreciate the useful comments. Except the hater troll ð
God bless!
Nice video ðđ and workmanship
I got rid of my demodex by rubbing castor oil on my eyelashes nightly and washing my face numerous times a day. Also, I find changing my pillowcases more frequently helps.
Yes. Little creeps live in our hair also. Yuk. Tea tree oil before shampooing, or in shampoo, helps kill them offâĶso does the peroxide if you color your hair!
Great, I got more than enough going on medically in my life. Now this. Seems like there's no end to bad crap to experience. Glad I ran into this video. Thanks doc.
The Body Shop has a tea tree oil 'foaming' soap. Excellent for daily use. This is a serious issue for us older folks. I have certainly seen many people with this guck around their eyelid bases.
I wash my eyes with J and J baby shampoo, it works
Mixed with water?
CASTOR OIL !!!!!
Thanks for this helpful video. I thought I had a fungus in my eyes since I would get all of these symptoms almost every morning when I wake up.
You are such a sport for demonstrating on yourself! Mites are nasty, ugh! I once found a mynah nest where the fledglings were killed by mites, the poor babies!
Oh wow! How did you know since the mites are not visible?
Mites cause severe skin problems so birds skin would be unhealthy with lack of feather growth
@@WindTurbineSyndrome OK, thanks!
Excellent. I am experiencing these horrible symptoms at night mainly when these microscopic microorganisms decide to come out and play! So annoying..need to see my primary physician for fast relief.
Great video.âĪ
Should visit an ophthalmologist . If anyone is experiencing any of these issues.
I use baby shampoo and wash eyelids, eyelashes and eyebrows 1-4x a week.
Naviblef ( we love eyes or ocusoft ) foams, twice a day massaging eyelid 60-80 seconds eyes closed let sit then rinse in 2 months I got rid of them and blepharitis :))) ðððððððððððð
Congratulations Bini!
My doctor said to just put a hot wet towel over my eyes before bed. I just run a small flanel under the hot water, wring it out and roll it up and place it over my eyes while I lay on the bed till the towel goes cold. Has helped clear up symptoms, but I think the cause is still there, going to try some of these wipes maybe that will clear it up for good.
Thank you for this. My eye doctor has recommended eyelid scrubs and warm compresses. Seeing this is inspiring me to be more consistent in addressing this problem.
Tto foam saved my life. (Naviblef ) Closed eyes massagging eyelids and eyelashes for 60-80 seconds let sit then rinse. Twice a day for 2 months.
Cured my blepharitis, helped with dry eyes and mgd. I keep using it now once a day letting sit 1 minute. Its perfect for long period of use because tto is only 0,002 good even for children
I use tea tree oil regularly for hygiene purposes but never thought it could cure something on my eyelids. Thank you Dr!
What works for me is colloidal silver spray and organic castor oil. I use the colloidal silver if it looks like it might be coming back, just 1 spray onto the lashes but use castor oil every evening. Works brilliantly but is not a total cure. Every month or so the colloidal silver stops it before it becomes a bother. ð
That's good for bacterial blepharitis
Omg!! I finally know what I have got. I can feel them moving. My lashes have been falling out . I have tried blephasol and a cream but they are not helping. Now I know, thank you
Blephasol is unuseful!

I always add tea tree oil (a drop or two) to my face cleansing routine and give my lash line and brows a good scrub. I have rosacea (or used to) and use diaper cream and vaseline on my cheeks if I have a flare. I tried the vaseline on my lash line but it really aggravated my eyes. I think if you get rid of most of it on your face, the tea tree oil takes care of the lash line. Well, it did for my anyway.
@@janetpelletier1238 yes I have rosacea too and tto foam letting sit 1 minute saved me from blepharitis
Try NATURAL remedies.
Ocular rosacea here. Tea tree foam ( ocusoft demodex /we love eyes / naviblef if u in Europe ) twice a day, 1 eye at the time, 60 seconds ( timer or count till 100 quick is circa 1 minute ) then rinse. Stopped eyelashes loss and kills bacteria and mites. First month 2 a day then once for manteinence FOREVER :)
NEVER EVER put tea tree oil on your eyelidâĶ, it must be diluted first to a certain concentration before puting it on .
Fact ð
Yes. The video makes that very clear. Minutes 3:29 through 5:07
@KooroshRefahi TrueâĶbut to be fair , youâll only do it once and learn your lesson.
Itâs not pleasant .
@@monk3yboy69 sometimes itâs the only way to learn unfortunately ð
I've used tea tree oil somewhere else on my body and it truly hurt A LOT.
CASTOR OIL
You are one of the best educational health care providers out there !! Thank you for your efforts.

Humans and their pets are walking, breathing hosts for ALL kinds of microscopic creatures like demodex, I will wager.
Just what I needed, something else to worry about it
Right
It's just fear-mongering.
First time on this channel. Very good.
Excellent video. Thank you
Can you mix a manuka honey wash with a drop of tea tree oil on a rotating scrub brush as long as you wet the brush and your face well to dilute that tea tree oil? Or should I put the drop of oil in a small bowl of water and dip the brush in it?
Thank you. Ive been blaming the tap water on my chronic eye lid infections. Gross.
I was diagnosed with Demodex Blepharitis and had initially eyelash scrubs. When that was not helping that much my doctor prescribed xDemfy. That did clear most of the problem but it has come back so I haven't found a solution yet. I'm going to try two of your suggestions here. TY for the informative video.
Thank you for sharing. I hope you are able to find a solution and some of those remedies help.

Dic. What about vigorous washing eye lids with soap. and what about closing eye and let the direct sunlight burn them off. ???????? THANKS for this video.
Great video, thanks
organic castor oil works for my family.
Cool. Watching from the PHILIPPINES.
My optometrist gave me some Hypochlorous Acid. I just spray it on after washing my face and rub along my eyelashes. Eyes seem nice and clear and clean.
Tea tree lid scrub, wipes and coconut oil for moisture.
My younger sister had this when she was around three years old, her eyelashes were almost always flaky, mom took her to the doctor, he gave her some kind of drops to put in her eyes and on her lashes, they went away and never came back. That was about 60 years ago.
Canât stop looking but so far so good. Sorry for being grossed out.
Do you know if one could just get a quality tea tree oil and dilute it somehow and make their own wipes ? Not sure what strength they'd need to be tho. Thanks.
We're really getting thirdworld aren't we?
The Plan is working.
I would rather not know, thank you very much
Right! I could have gone the rest of my life, not knowing about these! Now I just get the hebbie geevies!!!
I find washing across eyelash base with 1/4 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda in luke warm water cleans so well and in fact is required before surgery e.g. cataract.
Thank you!
People with a lot of them have more issues, usually too many is caused by leaky gut. University of Belfast did a paper on it.
link please. I agree about underlying issues.
@@mettejensen8653 essentially the theory is that changes in the gut microbiome cause the make up of sebum to change. Sebum is what the mites feed on. Causing a population explosion. These mites have no anus, they just die, and when they die bacteria in their guts infect the pore, causing acne, redness, and many more complications. There may well be an autoimmune issue too, caused by both changes in the gut biome, and a leaky gut. Processed foods that contain emulsifiers are are a probably cause, as are other chemical stabilisers. I have found that a change in diet to that which contains no bread, low dairy or no dairy, just greens and chicken, low fat, low oils helps enormously. Lack of vitamin A foods too. There are loads of papers out there discussing the role mites, rosacea, acne and the gut microbiome have on your health. The paper I read was from 2012. But I canât find it now. Just Google those search terms.
Can erythromycin gel work for this? Iâm wondering if this works cause they prescribe this for styles. Please lemme know what you think. Thx
Thank you so much!!
I swipe my cheeks with eucalyptus essential oil or Vicks which creates natural tears and blink 10 times x 2 usually in the morning and night or as much as required. Feels like it alleviates any sandy or discomfort in my eyes
No mention of castor oil?
You also didn't mention that left untreated, demodex can irreversibly destroy your oil glands in your eyelids.
If youâve ever read Angelaâs Ashes (Frank McCourt) he constantly mentioned his horribly red, swollen, and miserable eyes. I wonder if this was the his problem.
If something is that bad, there's probably more than one cause. so this probably could be one of them. Plus allergies. Plus maybe a bacterial infection. Plus maybe smog or soot in air, if it's that bad.
I used demodex wipes with components of tea tree oil and some other stuff, but got allergic reaction after a couple of weeks. My eyelids got red and swollen, so I had to stop.
I think they were quite mild, though. Got them from an ophthalmologist
Jesus Dude! Youâve just frightened the crap out of me!!!
OK this is making my eyelids itch just watching this. How about a blow torch?
Because the movie hostel shows us what happens with a blow torchâĶ. Itâs not prettyâĶ..
Baby Shampoo, thatâs what my momâs dr told her to wash her face with.
i alternated from the Tea tree oil you mentioned to Diatomaceous earth at night because I was doing eyebrows and eyes got dusted.
I had that crap for years. I started using a tiny shaving comb to scrape it off and it went away on its own. Canât let it build up. That stuff gets itchy too. I thought it was just eyelid dandruff
Thank you so much for posting this video Dr. Eye! I am 52 and have been suffering from dry eye and foreign objects in my eyes for few years. When I went to my new eye Dr. at the end of the visit she said btw, you have mites, very short no explanation, so thank you for the detailed explanation!
Now my question: do I need to stop using makeup during my treatment? Do I need to throw away the eye makeup I have?
Great question! I should have put that in the video.
ðI usually tell my patients to avoid makeup and throw away makeup during the demodex treatment. I believe demodex can survive for hours in makeup.
Yes, I threw away all my makeup and cleaned my brushes really well. Also, you need to buy new makeup that is âcleanâ. Meaning it is not made with parabens and fragrance. Merit is a very clean makeup at Sephora!
Iâll do that, thank you, both for your replies âĪ
