Blepharitis is frequently present with various skin conditions, including seborrheic dermatitis, rosacea and eczema. Seborrheic dermatitis has been associated with up to 46% of patients with MGD.

The skin’s ‘acid mantle’ is key to its barrier properties. Skin pH in atopic dermatitis patients is often high and the resulting cascade of changes contributes to this.

Optimel Manuka Honey eyelid cream helps to protect dry, flaky skin caused by common eye problems. With a low pH and high levels of emollient (Jojoba oil), this cream helps restore the skin’s acid mantle which is crucial for barrier function and antimicrobial activity.
