Blepharitis is inflammation of the eyelid margins. It often causes burning, itching, redness along the lash line, crusting (especially on waking), and a gritty feeling—sometimes worsening dry eye. At Shalaaki Eye & ENT Clinic in Bangalore, we help patients build a sustainable lid-care routine.
Types and triggers
Anterior blepharitis affects the outer lash line; posterior forms relate to meibomian glands inside the lids. Dandruff, rosacea, allergies, and bacterial overgrowth can contribute.
Home care basics
- Warm compresses to soften oils in the lids
- Gentle lid cleansing as advised—no harsh scrubbing
- Artificial tears if dryness co-exists
- Avoid eye makeup during flares if your doctor suggests
When to see an eye specialist
See your eye doctor if symptoms persist, vision fluctuates, or you have recurrent styes. Prescription drops or ointments may be needed for infection or inflammation.
