2. How Is Blepharitis Diagnosed?

There are two types of blepharitis: anterior and posterior. Anterior means “front,” so this type of eyelid inflammation will appear on the front of the eyelid. If you have posterior blepharitis, you will notice redness and irritation along the inner side of your eyelid.

A medical practitioner will go over your medical history to determine the cause of your inflammation. Make sure to list any allergies to rule out this cause before moving onto others. Sometimes you might know exactly what caused your blepharitis. If you think the culprit is your new contact lenses, for example, you will want to get in touch with the eye doctor who prescribed them.
