    Abstract:
    Nowadays, people give more importance and pay closer attention to the condition of their eyelids and lid margins. This increased recognition of eyelid hygiene is due to the growing awareness that improper eyelid cleaning might lead to various ocular surface diseases such as blepharitis and meibomian gland dysfunction. These ocular surface diseases can greatly affect people's quality of life. This article reviews the latest procedures for proper eyelid cleaning, including indications, methods, tools, detergents, and clinical applications, to maintain a healthy ocular surface and assist in the treatment of dry eye and blepharitis.
