Itchy eyes? It might be eyelash mites! Here’s how to spot them

Eyelash mites, microscopic arachnids, commonly reside on our faces, particularly around the eyes. While often harmless, an overgrowth can lead to Demodex blepharitis, causing itchy, red, and crusty eyelids. Maintaining proper hygiene, using tea tree oil cleansers, and avoiding shared cosmetics can help manage mite populations and alleviate symptoms. Consulting a doctor is recommended for severe cases.
