Demodex blepharitis (DB) is a common yet frequently underrecognized condition, often misdiagnosed as dry eye disease or meibomian gland dysfunction, leading to delayed treatment and increased patient burden. Clinicians need improved recognition of hallmark signs such as collarettes, along with a clearer understanding of the limitations of traditional therapies and the role of newer evidence-based options like lotilaner. Enhancing diagnostic accuracy, individualized treatment selection, and structured follow-up can improve adherence and long-term outcomes. Education focused on these strategies aims to reduce misclassification, optimize care, and improve quality of life for patients with DB.
