This course is designed to equip optometrists with the necessary information for accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and proper management of Demodex blepharitis. We will discuss the long-term impact of Demodex if left without intervention, how to easily diagnose this condition, and lastly how to have the conversation/discussion with the patient. One tip: talk about it like an analogy to the dental model. If you let plaque buildup, it will cause cavities. If you let Demodex build up it can lead to issues with contacts, vision issues, and other ocular surface problems. Why wouldn't you intervene right away?
