10 Common Eye Diseases
Eye Disease #6: Blepharitis
At the base of our eyelashes are tiny oil glands. These can sometimes become blocked, resulting in a condition known as blepharitis. This can cause the eyelids to become inflamed and they can also become coated in scales that are similar to dandruff. It can be very irritating and result in considerable soreness.
There are two main types of the condition. Posterior blepharitis occurs on the inside of the eyelid that contacts the eyeball. Anterior blepharitis occurs on the edge of the eyelids at the base of the eyelashes. Remedies are available that will help clean up the condition and help prevent it with sufficient eye-hygiene.
