Blepharitis is an inflammation of the eyelid margins, often involving the eyelashes and the glands that produce oils in the eyelids. It is a common condition that can cause discomfort and irritation. Blepharitis can affect one or both eyelids and is usually a chronic condition, though it can often be managed effectively with proper care.

Blepharitis is diagnosed primarily through clinical evaluation by an ophthalmologist or general physician. The diagnosis begins with a thorough medical history to identify symptoms like red, swollen eyelids, crusting, itching, and irritation. During physical examination, the doctor closely inspects the eyelids and eyelashes using a slit-lamp microscope to detect signs such as greasy flakes, debris at the base of the eyelashes, thickened lid margins, blocked meibomian glands, or abnormal eyelash growth.
In some cases, a sample of skin scales or discharge may be taken from the eyelid for microbiological testing to check for bacterial overgrowth, fungal infections, or parasitic infestations like Demodex mites. This is especially useful in chronic or resistant cases. Tear breakup time and Schirmer’s test may be performed to assess associated dry eye syndrome.
Blepharitis is often classified into anterior (affecting the outer eyelid) and posterior (involving the meibomian glands). Recognizing this distinction helps guide treatment. Although imaging is not required, dermoscopy may occasionally be used for better visualization of eyelash follicles. The condition is often linked with other skin disorders like seborrheic dermatitis, rosacea, or acne, so identifying comorbid conditions also forms part of diagnosis. Since it is a chronic and recurrent condition, accurate diagnosis and classification are key to effective management and symptom relief.
