  A systematic and long-term commitment to a program of eyelid margin hygiene is the basis of treatment of blepharitis. Clinicians must ensure that patients recognize that the management of blepharitis is not a cure but a process that must be carried out for prolonged periods of time. This understanding helps reduce „doctor shopping,” a ceremony in which a patient goes from physician to physician, seeking some panacea for this frustrating condition. […] […] Many appropriate systems of eyelid hygiene exist, and all include variations of 3 essential steps, as follows: […] First, application of heat to warm the eyelid gland secretions, to bring the turbid lipid glandular material to its melting point and resultant liquification, and to promote evacuation and cleansing of the secretory passages is essential. Patients commonly are directed to use soaked warm compresses and to apply them to the lids repeatedly. Warm water in a washcloth, soaked gauze pads, or microwaved, soaked cloths can be used.
