10 Symptoms of Blepharitis

Blepharitis is a general term used to describe inflammation around the eyelids. This inflammation is typically on both the upper and lower eyelids, and it frequently occurs along the eyelid rim where the eyelashes are located. The glands that produce oil around the eyelashes are particularly likely to be affected, so the condition may occur alongside meibomian gland dysfunction. There can be many different underlying causes for this eye condition. It can be due to a bacterial, parasitic, or fungal infection of the skin around the eyes. If you have an allergy, such as a reaction to your eye makeup, you may get the condition.Those with other skin conditions like seborrheic dermatitis or rosacea are also more likely to get this condition. Until the underlying cause is addressed, it tends to be a chronic condition that may seem to get better and then occur again. Regardless of the cause, blepharitis typically leads to eye pain and discomfort. Despite the many unpleasant symptoms associated with this eye condition, it is not typically too severe and it is very treatable. The condition does not cause permanent eyesight damage as long as you seek treatment promptly. Since it is so important to treat blepharitis before it causes any sort of corneal infection, you need to know the signs and symptoms of the condition.

1. Eye pain

The most significant symptom of this eye condition is pain in one or both eyes. The pain tends to remain at fairly steady levels throughout the entire course of the eyelid inflammation. However, it can occasionally escalate, causing sudden sharp pains that fade quickly. Most people who have the type of eye pain associated with blepharitis report that it tends to feel like their eyes are burning or stinging. The location of this type of eye pain will depend on which type of blepharitis a person has.Anterior is pain and other inflammation that focuses on the skin along the outside of the eyelid, while posterior causes pain along the inner rim of the eyelid, right next to the eyeball. Even basic versions of this condition cause pain in the eyes, but it can become worse if other symptoms of the condition cause further problems. Those who get peeling skin feel soreness when the crusts or scales flake off, and if the oil glands get blocked, a person may experience a constant throbbing pain around the blocked area. Blepharitis pain typically gets worse when the inflamed areas are touched by the patient, and it can ease up if the patient takes over the counter painkillers.Next
