At ESCRS 2025 in Copenhagen, experts highlighted the overlooked burden of Demodex blepharitis (DB) and the importance of screening every patient.
Maaza Martin (Tarsus) together with Dr. José L. Güell and Dr. Francesco Carones, explained how DB can affect the lids, leading to eyelid itching, irritation, fluctuating vision. With a data analysis showing prevalence rates around 54% across Europe, yet awareness among ophthalmologists still low, DB remains underdiagnosed and undertreated, creating a clear unmet need in routine eyecare.
A simple “look down” technique at the slit lamp was highlighted as practical way to spot collarettes, the pathognomonic sign of Demodex blepharitis, helping integrate DB detection into routine clinical assessments.
