Treatment
If Dr. Harry Boparai observes collarettes in a patient, he may recommend the use of a tea tree oil base in addition to scrubbing the eyelids. He may also recommend hypochlorous acid that can be used to mechanically wash the eyelids, with special attention paid to thorough cleaning technique because the mites can hide in hard-to-reach places.
A new treatment option from Tarsus Pharmaceuticals, the manufacturer of lotilaner ophthalmic solution 0.25% (Xdemvy), can be useful in promoting treatment adherence. Xdemvy is a prescription eyedrop used 2 times a day daily for 6 weeks.
