PURPOSE: To compare the efficacy of Dr Organic Tea Tree Face Wash, OcuSoft Lids Scrub Plus and the BlephEx™ device at treating of Demodex folliculorum blepharitis.
METHODS: Eighty-six subjects (33 males/36 females) were enrolled in a randomised controlled interventional treatment study. Subjects completed a dry eye symptom questionnaire and were assessed for presence of Demodex folliculorum. Subjects were divided into three groups according to treatment: Dr Organic Tea Tree Face Wash (A) (n=28), OcuSoft Lid Scrub Plus (B) (n=30), or in-house lid scrub with the BlephEx™ device before nightly lid scrubs with OcuSoft Lid Scrub Plus (C) (n=28). Subjects were advised to clean their eyelids nightly for four weeks. Each subject was re-assessed for symptoms and Demodex folliculorum blepharitis after two weeks and four weeks of treatment.
RESULTS: The quantity of Demodex folliculorum was significantly reduced after four weeks of treatment in all three groups (p<0.05). Overall, there was no difference in efficacy between the three treatments (p>0.1). Symptoms reported by subjects were significantly improved after two and four weeks of treatment (p<0.05). Overall, there was no difference in efficacy between the three treatments to reduce symptoms after two or four weeks (p= 0.813 and p=0.646 respectively).
CONCLUSION: All three methods tested have shown good ability to reduce Demodex folliculorum quantity, improve subjective symptoms and help treat Demodex folliculorum blepharitis.
