Overview
The doctor has diagnosed that you have a condition of the eyelids called ‘‘BLEPHARITIS’’ (pronounced BLEF-A-RY-TIS).
This is a chronic condition affecting the eyelids and can cause redness, swelling, itching, discomfort, dryness or watering of the eyes. In the longer term it can cause loss or misdirection of the eyelashes.
Blepharitis is a chronic condition, which means it will never go away. It can be treated and controlled but can never be fully cured.
The mainstay of treatment is ‘lid hygiene’ which you need to practice regularly and diligently ‘to keep you eyes more comfortable’.
