What is blepharitis?

Blepharitis is the inflammation of the eyelid margin. It may result in dry eyes as it affects the meibomian glands that produce the fatty layer that covers the tear film on your eye. If this fatty layer is unhealthy, then your tears evaporate much faster.

How is blepharitis treated?

There are various options to treat blepharitis. It is important to visit your ophthalmologist so that the severity of the inflammation can be assessed. They will then recommend a treatment plan to help ease the symptoms. While recurrence is common, quick, early treatment can help decrease the duration and severity of the symptoms.
