| The remedy is worst than the symptom. This is where how so called scientists have led us. Still, most of them call this kind of treatments "medicine", others call it "science". When somebody appears and discovers different things, namely simple rest techinques, he is crucifixed. Strange. If he was responsible of harmless quackery, what these harmful modern people are doing? They should be crucifixed too. Now this doctor person who calls himself a board certified optht., doesn't he fells shy of telling us his own utter meaningfulness, his own absolute impotence in treating a simple thing like an infection? Not only he does not feel embarassed for his own impotency, but he does not feel embarassed for the ugly treatment he prescribes: he gives such terrible medicines, or drugs, with such tremendous ill effects! and the patient? The patient, considered to be an idiot, just swallows the bitter pill, and goes away. Some man of science should explain to me and to the public what kind of business is this.

| This was probably not of the "infection" per se. This is the treatment used for blepharitis. Yes, blepharitis MAY be associated with an infection, but the tectracycline/doxycycline is not to kill bacteria. It is used to chenge the makeup of the oils in the oil glands that have been changed, chronically, by infection and by age, etc. This treatment needs to be long-term (2-12 months). There really is not subsitute. This treatment does cause photosensitivity (bad sunburn) as well as opportunistic infectons like vaginal yeast, etc. It is the treatment of last resort.
