• FDA-accepted antimicrobial eyelid cleanser 
• Helps eliminate 99.9% of bacteria on the eyelids

TheraTears SteriLid Antimicrobial Eyelid Cleanser and Facial Wash is a clinically developed solution for maintaining optimal eyelid hygiene. Designed for patients managing conditions such as dry eye, blepharitis, and meibomian gland dysfunction, it works by reducing bacterial load and removing debris from the eyelid margins and eyelashes. 

Unlike traditional cleansers, SteriLid uses a pH-balanced, soap-free formula that is gentle enough for daily use without disrupting the natural tear film. Its no-rinse format improves compliance, making it suitable for consistent, long-term use as part of a broader dry eye treatment plan. 

This product is particularly relevant for individuals who wear makeup or false eyelashes, where debris and bacteria can accumulate more readily. As part of a complete eyelid hygiene routine, it complements other therapies such as eye drops Australia patients commonly use for lubrication, helping address both surface dryness and underlying lid health. 

TheraTears SteriLid works by delivering antimicrobial cleansing to the eyelid margins, reducing bacterial load and breaking down debris and biofilm. This supports healthier meibomian gland function and improves the quality of the tear film.

1. Apply a small amount of foam to clean fingertips. 
2. Gently massage into closed eyelids and along the lash line.

Formulated to be low concentration, pH-balanced, and suitable for delicate eyelid skin. 

Choose this product if you need a daily, antimicrobial eyelid cleanser to manage bacterial load and support conditions such as blepharitis or meibomian gland dysfunction. 

You may prefer Ocusoft Hypochlor if you are looking for a hypochlorous acid spray format that requires minimal contact and is ideal for highly sensitive or post-procedural eyelids. 

Compared with Ocusoft Hypochlor, this option is better suited for users who prefer a foam-based cleanser that actively removes debris and biofilm through gentle mechanical cleansing. 

You may prefer Blephadex wipes if you want a pre-moistened, single-use wipe format for convenience when travelling or for simplified application. 

Compared with Blephadex wipes, this product is more suitable for ongoing daily use where cost-effectiveness and reusable application are priorities.
