PODCAST: Blepharitis
Paul is aged 40, and comes to see you with persistent, red, sore, scratchy eyes. He is really troubled with these symptoms which keep recurring. On examination he has red, inflamed, slightly crusty lids and some scleral injection.
He has tried eye drops from the pharmacy and two of your colleagues have twice prescribed him some topical Chloramphenicol.
Paul has Blepharitis. From the GP's perspective it can be difficult to know what to do and how to manage.

As veterans transition from military service, they often face significant mental health challenges, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and adjustment difficulties. Managing these complex conditions requires a holistic, long-term approach, and general practitioners (GPs) are in a unique position to support veterans not only through referrals to mental health specialists but also through evidence-based lifestyle interventions that promote resilience and recovery.
