What Is Blepharitis?
9. Is Blepharitis Related to Other Health Conditions?
Interestingly, yes. Those who suffer from blepharitis might have a co-occurring condition called seborrhea, a harmless yet annoying condition that causes dandruff-like flakes on the face, eyelids, and scalp. The flakes can be brushed off, but the condition can become chronic.
It’s common for blepharitis to be caused by allergies, but these allergies are generally to products put near eyes, like cosmetics, rather than pollen or mold. Dry eye sufferers and diabetics are more likely to get blepharitis than the general population as well.
