What is Blepharitis?

Also called: Inflammation of the Eyelids

Blepharitis is an inflammation of the eyelids. Blepharitis could be caused by seborrheic dermatitis or a bacterial infection. Blepharitis could also be caused by allergies or lice infestation.

Causes:

Blepharitis is precipitated by an excess of oil produced by the glands near the eyelids. This makes the environment optimal for the growth of bacteria which is always present on the skin. Blepharitis could also be caused by repeated bouts of styes or chalazia. Seborrheic dermatitis of the face or scalp, rosacea, lice, and allergies are the common risk factors.

Symptoms:

The eyelids become crusty, red, swollen, itchy and there is an intense burning. Blinking causes a granular sensation like sand or dust in the eye. Loss of eyelid may also occur.

Tamir Goren "When my mother fell ill with cancer I wanted to find a natural solution to help with her suffering. After an excessive research I learned about Wheatgrass. And it seemed to work!
