My name is Sylvain. A few years ago, a routine eye-exam revealed that the gritty, red feeling I kept dismissing was actually blepharitis. At first, my optometrist blamed my heavy contact-lens use, and I wasn't very disciplined with the recommended lubricating eye-drops.
Twelve months later, things got worse: stubborn crusting and a painful chalazion. This time I took treatment seriously—warm compresses, meticulous lid hygiene, and the right products (see the "Products" section). That combination finally calmed the inflammation and kept recurrences in check.
Along the way, I discovered how scattered and superficial the advice online can be. That's why I built this site: to collect reliable resources, practical tips, and vetted products in one place, so no one has to start from scratch the way I did.
