Purpose: To reach consensus on Methods: The Results: The DEPTH panel reached consensus that lotilaner ophthalmic solution, 0.25% should be the first-line treatment for DB. Experts agreed no additional clinical findings are needed to prompt treatment with lotilaner ophthalmic solution, 0.25% for patients with >10 collarettes (12/15), while one additional clinical finding is needed for patients with 0-2 (11/15) or 3-10 collarettes (10/15). In the absence of allergies, panelists would consider first-line treatment for DB in a patient with eyelid itching but without collarettes (weighted mean: 7.47; range: 2-9). Panelists agreed that blepharoexfoliation (weighted mean: 8.27; range: 3-9) or intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy (weighted mean: 8.4; range: 6-9) could supplement first-line treatment with lotilaner ophthalmic solution, 0.25%. The DEPTH panelists agreed that topical (10/15) and systemic ivermectin (14/15) are not their preferred treatment for DB. Experts did not reach consensus about the use of tea tree oil to treat DB. Conclusion: Experts achieved consensus on the use of lotilaner ophthalmic solution, 0.25% as the first-line treatment for patients with DB. Panelists also agreed that blepharoexfoliation or IPL therapy could serve supplementally to lotilaner ophthalmic solution, 0.25%, if needed.
