5. What's all the craze about demodex? - Optometry Times
Mar 23, 2016 · Demodex mites are microscopic ectoparasites found in human skin. They are extremely common, and their rate of infestation increases with age.
While many eyecare practitioners (ECPs) are just now learning about Demodex infestation of the eyelids and adnexa, the fact is that this condition has been around for as long as mankind. The entomologists Johannsen and Riley from Cornell University first described the species in detail anatomically as early as 1915, but it wasn’t until the 1960s that clinical reports of demodex-related blepharitis began to emerge in the literature.
