Blepharitis is an inflammation of the eyelids that affects the oil glands of the lids and the eyelashes. There are two forms of this condition, ulcerative and nonulcerative. In its nonulcerative form, it causes symptoms including swelling, itching, burning, watering, and redness, accompanied by the formation of crusts of dried mucus on the lids.

In fact, this condition was once referred to as granulated eyelids. Nonulcerative blepharitis is a cousin of dandruff and eczema, and may be a complication of psoriasis. It is often linked to seborrhea of the scalp, the eyebrows and the skin around the eyes.

In ulcerative blepharitis, a Staphylococcus infection at the roots of the eyelashes causes sticky crusts to form on the lid margin, followed by small sores, or ulcers. The eyes become reddened and abnormally sensitive to light.

Both forms of blepharitis can be contagious. Severe blepharitis can lead to corneal problems. This condition should not be neglected.

General recommendations for blepharitis

• Keep the area scrupulously clean. Soap your hands for at least ten seconds and rinse well before treating your eyes.
• Avoid touching or rubbing your eyes. That can spread the infection.
• If you wear makeup, give it up for the duration. Contaminated eye makeup can be a contributing factor to both forms of blepharitis. Once you decide to start using makeup again, replace old cosmetics especially eye makeup with fresh products.
• If you have a related skin condition, such as dandruff, eczema, or psoriasis, see the appropriate entries for additional recommendations.
