Blepharitis is inflammation of the eyelids. Warm compresses and sometimes antibiotic ointment or eye drops may be used to treat blepharitis.

Blepharitis is an ongoing (chronic) condition. You can keep its symptoms under control by keeping your skin, hair and eyelids clean every day.

If you have any questions about your vision, speak with your ophthalmologist. They are committed to protecting your sight.
