Blepharitis

Blepharitis treatment at The Clinic Holland Park, West London.

Blepharitis is a common problem, presenting as an inflammation of the rims of the eyelids, with the eyes feeling sore, gritty and dry. Sometimes a dandruff-like crust forms along the lash line.

Blepharitis is often caused by a build-up of bacteria at the base of the eyelashes; or by a blockage in the oil glands of the eyelid; but it is also commonly found in people with skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, and dermatitis. There are multiple treatment modalities for this condition.
