Blepharitis is a medical condition in which the outer part of the eyelids gets inflamed and cause symptoms like redness and watering of eyes, burning sensation, swelling and itching of the eyelids, followed by crusting. If allowed to continue, this condition may later on cause a loss of the eyelashes. Obstruction, inflammation, and infection of the oil glands present in the eyelashes are believed to cause this condition, and this pathology usually occurs because of bacterial infection, dandruff, and obstruction of the oil glands in the eyelids. The modern management of blepharitis usually consists of giving antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications; however, this condition is quite resistant to treatment. Local antibiotic ointments can also be used in the eye and as well as on the eyelids.

This treatment is both safe as well as highly effective, and can completely prevent recurrence of this condition.
