About Blepharitis

Blepharitis is a common and often chronic inflammatory condition of the eyelids, specifically affecting the eyelash follicles and the oil glands (meibomian glands) along the lid margins. It is not a single surgical procedure but a condition managed by an ophthalmologist through a combination of treatments. Management focuses on controlling inflammation, clearing gland blockages, and maintaining eyelid hygiene to relieve symptoms like redness, swelling, itching, and crusty debris. Treatment plans are highly personalized and may include warm compresses, lid scrubs, prescription antibiotic or steroid ointments, oral medications, and in-office procedures like thermal pulsation or intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy for stubborn cases. Effective long-term management is crucial to prevent complications and improve ocular comfort.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to a couple of...

I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Karunakaran actually listened. He asked a lot of questions I hadn't been asked before and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up on the standard scans. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I had the surgery at MGM last month and feel like myself again.
