Blepharitis

Blepharitis is an inflammation of the eyelid edges where the eyelashes grow. It often causes redness, swelling, and irritation, leading to symptoms like itching, burning, and crusting around the eyes. This condition can be due to various factors, including oil gland dysfunction, bacterial infection, or allergies. While it’s not usually serious, blepharitis can affect your comfort and vision if left untreated. Regular eyelid hygiene, warm compresses, and sometimes medicated eye drops can help manage the symptoms and keep your eyes healthy. If symptoms persist, consulting an eye care professional is advisable.
