Blepharitis
Blepharitis may develop if the oil glands near the base of the eyelashes become clogged, leading to symptoms that may include red, watery eyes and crusted, itchy eyelashes. Other symptoms may include a feeling of grit in the eye, frequent blinking and red, swollen eyelids.
Washing the eyes and applying warm, damp cloths to the eyes may help alleviate symptoms. A doctor may prescribe oral or topical medications to fight infection and control inflammation.9‘Blepharitis.’ Mayo Clinic, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 28 Mar. 2020, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/blepharitis/symptoms-causes/syc-20370141
