Auburn Eye Care Blepharitis Treatment
Blepharitis is a common, sometimes chronic condition that causes eyelid inflammation and other uncomfortable symptoms, such as dry eye. While it isn’t contagious, the symptoms of blepharitis can negatively affect your quality of life, but the local team at Auburn Eye Care has solutions that can be used to treat the root cause of your blepharitis and bring you relief.
What Is Blepharitis?
Blepharitis occurs as a result of meibomian gland dysfunction, which develops when the glands that produce the oil component of your tears — the meibomian glands — become clogged. This prevents proper tear creation, which in turn leads to dried out eyes. The exact causes of blepharitis can vary, but our eye doctors can determine the best course of treatment for your specific case during an eye exam.
Do You Have Blepharitis?
Blepharitis can develop chronically, and though it’s not likely to cause any long-term damage, it is uncomfortable. This condition can cause watery or red-looking eyes; crusty eyelashes; greasy, swollen eyelids; and a burning or gritty sensation, along with other disruptive symptoms.
