Demodex spp may cause blepharitis and palpebra skin lesions. Since eyelash demodicosis seems to be quite spreadable in the community, every patient with chronic non-diagnosed blepharitis should be examined for Demodex spp. Tea tree oil treatment may be an efficient and safe therapeutical choice against ocular demodicosis.
