Blepharoplakia can be treated with medication or surgery. There is no “best” treatment, and patients should choose the treatment that is right for them under the guidance of their doctor.
Blepharosphenoid dysfunction is mainly caused by obstruction of blepharosphenoid ducts or abnormal blepharosphenoid secretions, and patients often experience symptoms such as dryness, foreign body sensation, fluctuating vision, and increased eye secretions. Mild patients can follow the doctor’s instructions to use sodium vitrate eye drops, carboxymethylcellulose eye drops and other artificial tears treatment to relieve eye discomfort.
Moderate to severe patients can be treated with tobramycin dexamethasone ophthalmic ointment, and for patients with clear bacterial infections can be treated with drugs such as levofloxacin eye drops. In addition, for patients with irregular lid margin patterns and severe blepharoplasty obstruction, surgery such as lid margin debridement and blepharoplasty can be performed to relieve symptoms.
Patients can also use localized hot compresses and eyelid massages to promote recovery. It is recommended that patients with blepharospasmal dysfunction choose the treatment that suits their needs under the guidance of their doctor.
