Abstract:Objective:
Demodex folliculorum blepharitis is typically confirmed with lash epilation and microscopic identification of mites. However, mite counts may vary with the epilation technique. As there is no gold standard to epilating lashes for the purposes of mite counts, the aim of this study was to compare three epilation techniques.
Method:
A prospective randomized double-blind study compared three epilation techniques … Show more
