Blepharitis is a commonly occuring eyelid inflammation. It can cause sore, reddish eyelids and crusty eyelashes. While blepharitis is nothing serious, it may cause other conditions such as dry eye syndrome.
The common symptoms of blepharitis include:
- Burning or stinging sensation in the eyes
- Crusty debris around the base of eyelashes
- Eye irritation
- Watery eyes
- Gritty or foreign body sensation
Blepharitis causes include bacterial infection of the eyelids, meibomian gland dysfunction, dry eyes, fungal infections and parasites.
Your optometrist is able to detect blepharitis during a routine eye test.
Following the eye test, your optometrist will educate you about the condition and advise you on the best options available to you.
