In patients with Demodex blepharitis, the use of topical ivermectin 1% cream for 15 minutes once weekly in addition to eyelid hygiene had more significantly improved symptoms, ocular surface staining, eyelid debris, redness/swelling, and telangiectasia as compared with eyelid hygiene alone.

Although reported prevalence of DB varies greatly [5, 11, 12], it is widespread, perhaps even more so knowing that significant numbers are misdiagnosed [15]. Of more than 1600 species of mites collectively known as Demodex, twoDemodex folliculorum and Demodex brevisinhabit the human body [6]. With respect to whether Demodex mites are part of the normal ocular flora, the panellists achieved consensus surrounding the idea that Demodex is a common parasite found on the skin, and when overgrowth occurs it can cause blepharitis (n=11). In the meantime, to ensure continued support, we are displaying the site without styles Additional study limitations include the lack of a control group and unmasked evaluation of the outcome measure (sleeves).

The efficacy of oral ivermectin for the treatment of chronic blepharitis in patients tested positive for Demodex spp. Of the management options for Demodex blepharitis available at the time of this panel, the group was about evenly split between blepharoexfoliation and tea tree oil as their primary strategy. Ivermectin 1% cream was approved by the FDA in 2014 for the treatment of rosacea, a Demodex-associated condition.32 The cream was found to be well tolerated in FDA studies, leading to skin irritation and a burning sensation in less than 1% of patients when used during a 12-week study period.33, 34 Topical ivermectin 1% cream has been reported to be effective in treating ocular rosacea,35,36 and was recently found by Choi et al.

It is also possible that patients may have concomitant ocular disease such as rosacea or dry eye disease that are the primary basis for ocular complaints rather than Demodex infestation.
