Why can a person have them without realizing it?
The presence of Demodex does not automatically mean that there is a disease.
Many people can have them without experiencing any symptoms. The problem can arise when their number increases significantly or when they coincide with certain alterations of the ocular surface and eyelids.
In these cases, irritation and inflammation may develop around the eyelashes.

These may include itching around the eyelashes, burning sensation, redness of the eyelids, eye irritation, and accumulation of residue around the base of the eyelashes.
