Blepharitis
Blepharitis, also known as granulated eyelids, is a common occular inflammatory condition that affects the corners of the eyelids.
Description:
Blepharitis itself may not lead to visionloss, but it can result in long-term changes to the margin of the eyelid, which are mainly caused by bacterial infection and inflammation from congested meibomian oil glands and can be classified as seborrheic, staphylococcal, mixed, posterior, meibomitis, or parasitic according to the cause.
Cause:
Blepharitis can be caused by dysfunction of the meibomian gland, which results in clogged, oily eyelids that inflame and infect, dandruff on the eyebrows and scalp, infection with bacteria, and mites in the eyelashes and eyebrows. Rosacea causes facial skin irritation and inflammation, as well as allergic responses to certain eye drugs, contact lens solutions, or cosmetics.
Symptoms:
The symptoms of blepharitis include watery, red, burning eyes, eyelids that appear greasy, itchy eyelids, red swollen eyes, sensitivity to light, coated eyelashes, adhering of the eyelids, flaking of the skin surrounding the eyes, and blurred vision that often gets better with blinking.
