Good lid hygiene is very important.
Regular eyelid washing with baby shampoo helps prevent styes,
chalazia, blepharitis, and eyelid edema. To avoid these problems,
it's also important to refrain from touching and rubbing the eyes
and eyelids, especially with hands that have not just been washed.
Blepharitis is associated with dandruff, which is caused by a kind
of bacteria that is one of the causes of blepharitis. Controlling
dandruff by washing the hair, scalp, and eyebrows with shampoo
containing selenium sulfide to kill the bacteria helps control the
blepharitis. When using anything near the eyes, it is important to
read the label or consult with a doctor first.
Avoiding allergens helps prevent allergic eyelid edema. Staying
inside as much as possible when pollen counts are high and
eliminating the use of, or at least removing eye makeup thoroughly,
or using hypo-allergenic makeup may help if the person is sensitive
to those substances.
Sunscreen, UV-blocking sunglasses, and wide brimmed hats can help
prevent eyelid tumors.
Entropian and ectropian seem to be unpreventable. |
