Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a convenient product, if a bit pricey, for the treatment of demodex folliculorum (a tiny mite that lives in the meibomian glands or eyelash follicles of the lids). You should, of course, see your optometrist or ophthalmologist to confirm any eye related diagnoses. However, I must say that my colleagues often miss or mistake demodex for other conditions (e.g. seborrheic or bacterial blepharitis, for which I would recommend the less expensive OCuSOFT product). The manufacturer recommended course is to use the wipes twice daily for one month. One box contains 24 packets. Instead of purchasing two boxes, I would cut each towelette package and save half for later use (should be more than adequate). As pointed out in the comment section, one box of 24 is not exactly a months worth, but don't get too hung up on that as 3.4 weeks should be fine in most cases. Be careful not to touch your eye with the wipes, as it will sting a bit. Close your eyes and gently dab/swipe around the lid lash area. Even so, the vapors may be enough to cause tearing at first. This is normal and most will become acclimated after a few uses. Your lids may be mildly red, but this should be temporary. Significant swelling lasting more than an hour likely indicates an allergic reaction and the product should be discontinued. For the do-it-yourself individual or those on a budget, try mixing a small 2oz bottle of pure tea tree oil (melaleuca alternifolia) into a 40oz shampoo (like a baby shampoo) and doing a 1-2 minute scrub of your lashes, once again taking care not to get any into your eye.
