Blepharitis symptoms are fairly common and treatment is often successful when the steps outlined in this article are taken. The condition is defined as an inflammation of the eyelid that can cause a great deal of discomfort. There are two types, anterior blepharitis effects the anterior or outer edge of the eyelids where the eyelashes are found, whereas posterior blepharitis effects the inner edge of the eyelids where the lid comes in contact with the eyeball. Let's take a look at the symptoms and treatment.
Blepharitis Symptoms and Causes
The symptoms will vary with the severity of the condition but will involve redness and tenderness of the eyelid(s). A thick, sticky discharge may be produced which causes the eyelids to "stick" shut overnight. The eye may begin to itch, burn and produce tears, and in some cases, the lid may produce an ulcer or appear scaly or crusty.
