Blepharitis
Blepharitis is inflammation of the edges of the eyelids, right where the eyelashes grow. It is a common problem that tends to be persistent or recurrent, although it generally does not compromise vision.
Common symptoms: redness and irritation of the eyelid margin, a burning or gritty sensation, crusting on waking, and, at times, sticky eyelashes.
Common causes: it is associated with disorders of the eyelid glands, certain skin conditions, and the presence of microorganisms in the area.
Which specialist evaluates it? The ophthalmologist is the one who examines the eyelids and guides appropriate care. If the irritation recurs or does not ease, a review helps manage the discomfort.
