Demodexblepharitis (DB) has become one of the common differential diagnoses in patients presenting with red eyes in daily clinics. In this review article, we have incorporated a detailed discussion about the mite and the various mechanisms by which it causes different signs and symptoms, the risk factors, and diagnostic methods with current and emerging treatment modalities. Because of the chronic symptoms and rather a late diagnosis, DB considerably affects patients' quality of life. The clues to identify cylindrical dandruff, the diagnostic sign of Demodex, visualization of the mite correlating their presence with signs and symptoms, and instituting early and appropriate treatment are the goals of this article.
睑缘蠕形螨睑缘炎（DB）已成为日常门诊中出现眼红症状患者的常见鉴别诊断之一。在这篇综述文章中，我们详细讨论了螨虫及其导致不同体征和症状的各种机制、风险因素、诊断方法以及当前和新兴的治疗方式。由于症状慢性化且诊断较晚，DB对患者的生活质量有相当大的影响。识别圆柱状皮屑（蠕形螨的诊断体征）的线索、螨虫的可视化（将其存在与体征和症状相关联）以及开展早期且恰当的治疗是本文的目标。
