Dry eye and blepharitis incidence / prevalence
There is a wide client profile who include women experiencing menopause, bankers, traders, lawyers and gamers using prolonged screen time in addition to those with longstanding rosacea and blepharitis. Sharmina takes a holistic approach with her clients and the treatments she recommends, believing that there is a solution for everyone who often silently suffer from these conditions.
Dry eye and blepharitis are common eye conditions affecting millions worldwide. Studies suggest that up to 30% of the population may experience symptoms of dry eye, while blepharitis is estimated to affect around 30-50% of individuals at some point in their lives.
Symptoms include:
Watery, gritty eyes
Dandruff around the lashes
Light sensitivity
Fluctuations in vision
Inflammation
Contact lens discomfort
Difficulty opening your eyes in the morning
Dry eye and blepharitis causes
The tear film is made up of three layers: the mucus, aqueous and lipid layer. The lipid layer is produced by meibomian glands found among the lid margin which can often become blocked. This means the lipid layer is reduced and cannot prevent the aqueous layer from evaporating, causing the eyes to dry out and become itchy and sore.

Dry eye and blepharitis treatments
Treatment may include:
Lipiflow – A specialist thermal pulsation technology that gently heats and massages the eyelids to unblock the meibomian glands, restoring a healthy tear film.
Blephex – A deep lid margin exfoliation treatment that removes debris, biofilm, and bacteria buildup to reduce inflammation and irritation.
Lumenis IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) – A cutting-edge light-based therapy that targets inflammation, reduces abnormal blood vessels, and improves meibomian gland function.
Combined with Sharmina Khan’s tailored regime of eye drops, these advanced treatments significantly reduce symptoms like soreness, itching, dryness, and irritation.
Dry eye and blepharitis FAQ
Blepharitis symptoms can be worsened by certain behaviour and lifestyle traits. If you suffer from dry eye or blepharitis, it is a good idea to consider doing the following:
Reduce prolonged contact lens wear
Reduce screen-time
Avoid low-humidity environments if possible
Eat a diet rich in omega-3 and vitamin D
How serious is blepharitis?
It is an irritating and unsightly condition that, at worst, can obscure vision and this is typically reversible. It should not do any lasting damage to eyesight, unless complicated by corneal changes. If you are seeking eye surgery, it is important to treat your blepharitis first to reduce the risk of slowing recovery time from surgery and rarely vision loss.
Can dry eye and blepharitis lead to complications if left untreated?
Yes, if left untreated, they can lead to corneal damage, infections, vision problems, and discomfort. It’s essential to seek timely treatment to prevent complications.
Are there any lifestyle changes that can help manage dry eye and blepharitis?
Yes, lifestyle changes like staying hydrated, avoiding smoke and dry environments, taking breaks from screens, and using humidifiers can help manage dry eye and blepharitis.
