What is blephario?

Blepharitis is an inflammation of the eyelid margins, often characterized by redness, swelling, and crusting of the eyelashes. It can be caused by bacterial infection, skin conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, or issues with oil glands. Symptoms may include itching, burning, and a gritty sensation in the eyes. Treatment typically involves good eyelid hygiene, warm compresses, and sometimes antibiotic or anti-inflammatory medications.
