c. Lotilaner ophthalmic solution

Lotilaner ophthalmic solution is the first FDA‑approved treatment specifically for Demodex blepharitis. The other options (4‑terpineol/tea tree oil cleansers, topical ivermectin cream, and oral metronidazole) are not FDA‑approved for Demodex blepharitis (ivermectin cream is approved for rosacea, not ocular use).
