How Clean Is Your Face If Bugs Are Living On Your Eyelashes?

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., April 7, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Many people have eyelash mites known as Demodex living on their eyelashes. These mites crawl around in darkness and freeze in bright lights. They eat and reproduce on your eyelashes, half a day later they lay their eggs and two days after that the eggs hatch.

Oftentimes patients are diagnosed with Blepharitis™ (inflammation of the eyelid); however, now we know that the cause of the red, itchy and irritated eye can very well be that of the Demodex mites. According to a study published in the REVIEW® of Ophthalmology, Demodex infestation increases with age, occurring in 84% of the population at age 60 and 100% of the population older than 70 years of age.

A Birmingham based company, Macular Health™, LLC has developed a new patented treatment called Blephadex™ that uses a combination of Tea Tree Oil, Virgin Coconut Oil and a gentle lid cleanser. This new treatment has been proven to reduce Demodex by up to 84% in a new pilot study done by Dr. John O. Mason, III, M.D. at the UAB Callahan Eye Foundation Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama. Jeffery McAnnally, Macular Health's President says his wife and many of the women in his family that battle Rosacea have found that Blephadex™ also helps them immensely unlike anything they have tried before.

More information about the new Blephadex™ Treatment for Demodex can be found on Macular Health's website at www.macularhealth.com or by calling 1-800-980-6551.
