  Demodex blepharitis is a common disease that affects the skin, eyelashes, lash follicles, and sebaceous glands but is often underdiagnosed. This disease occurs in up to 57.7% of all patients who visit eye clinics in the US. Previously, limited options were available for treating this condition. In July 2023, the first therapeutic for the treatment of Demodex blepharitis, lotilaner ophthalmic solution, 0.25%, was approved by the FDA. […] Traditional therapies for Demodex blepharitis such as TTO application have not shown lasting efficacy and are poorly tolerated. Moreover, few randomized clinical trials have been performed to evaluate traditional treatments other than TTO. In the Atlas study, although 32.3% of patients sought medical attention from a physician on at least 2 occasions, a notable proportion of patients (45.9%) discontinued traditional treatment because of concerns regarding effectiveness or tolerability. The Trattler study outcomes demonstrated that Demodex blepharitis persisted among patients employing TTO and lid wipes in 75% and 57% of cases, respectively.
