Default What other options for treating blepharitis do I have?

I currently take fishoil and flaxseed nutritional supplements, take 50mg Minocycline daily, use Restasis drops twice daily, have punctal plugs in both eyes, use Tobradex ointment at night and use Sterilid to clean my eyelashes twice daily. What other options do I have as I also use preservative free Refresh endura artificial tears about every 20-30 minutes throughout the day and still have the flaky discharge on my eyelids by the afternoon.
I also use Alrex steroid drops three times a day and even with all the above still have irritation.

Blepharitis is very difficult to get rid of -- I had it for over 6 months. I found that the best thing to do was rinse the area with cool water several times a day, carefully drying off each time (don't rub). Creams and such didn't work for me.

For an eye wash, I had used baby shampoo in the past, but maybe what you are using is better (don't know). Check your makeup if you wear it. You may be recontaminating or abrading the area too much it won't heal. Throw out all your old eye makeup. Maybe one of the products you use are further irritating it, check with your doc.
