Common symptoms: burning, a foreign-body sensation, red or crusted eyelids, dry eyes and, at times, somewhat blurred vision that improves with blinking.

Common causes: it is usually associated with the obstruction of these glands and with changes in the eyelid margin, which alter the quality of the tear film.

Which specialist treats it? Ophthalmology is the one that evaluates meibomianitis and offers guidance on eyelid care. If the eye discomfort is persistent, the advisable course is to have it checked by an eye care professional.
