Activity Description and Purpose
Demodex are ectoparasites that inhabit human hair follicles, including those on the face and eyelashes. Large infestations can cause Demodex blepharitis, a condition that has been associated with dry eye, meibomian gland dysfunction, and rosacea. Until recently, there were no US Food and Drug Administration–approved treatments for Demodex blepharitis, and off-label treatments were not reliably effective. This podcast covers the diagnosis and treatment of Demodex, including the recently approved treatment lotilaner, 0.25%.
Target Audience
This educational activity is intended for optometrists.
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, participants will be better able to:
- Review best practices in the diagnosis of Demodex blepharitis
- Develop individualized treatment plans for patients with Demodex blepharitis
