I Have Blepharitis According The My Doctor. I Have Been

I have blepharitis according the my doctor. I have been to the doctors several times, constantly be prescribed eyedrops, antibacterials, and creams for the itching. I have had it since December of 2014 and it still will not completely go away. I was unsuccessful with the things I have been prescribed and have given up on going to my doctors again. So, I have been trying a mixture of coconut oil and vitamin E oil for about two weeks and reduced the amount of eye make up I wear. It certainly helps the dryness and the infection no longer seems as extreme as it was before. However, the texture of my eyelid is still not the same as my healthier eyelid (the left one), not to mention there is slight discolouration on the right eye in comparison to my left eye. Also, my eyelashes do not seem to be growing back, and sometimes my vision in that eye gets cloudy. What can get rid of it permanently? I have been coping with it for 8 months and i no longer want to have to put up with it. I also want to be able to wear eye makeups such as mascara again.
