Blepharitis, or eyelid inflammation, typically affects the oil glands near the eyelashes. It can result from eye infection, dry eye, allergies, and certain medications, among other factors. Symptoms include redness, itching, irritation, a feeling of something in the eye, crusted eyes, and eyelash loss. Because there are various causes of the condition, treatment can vary widely, and our doctors will work carefully to determine the right option for your needs. Treatments include regular cleaning, antibiotics, eye drops, and nutritional supplements.
