Blepharitis FAQs

The eye condition known as blepharitis can be identified by swelling and redness of the eyelids and eyelashes. Itchy and flaky eyelids may occur along with eye pain and other symptoms. Blepharitis happens when oil glands become clogged and inflammation sets in. This condition can be irritating, but no permanent damage to vision happens from it. It is fairly easy to treat, especially if it is addressed early on. A visit to a qualified eye doctor may be necessary if this condition does not heal or needs further treatment.
