Blepharitis is an eyelid inflammation that affects many people and has a variety of potential causes. Because it solely affects the rims of your eyelids, it is also sometimes referred to as lid border disease. Either the presence of bacteria that leads to infection or the presence of certain skin diseases that produce irritation can bring it on, or a mix of the two is also possible. As a direct consequence of this, your eyelids may get red, swell, and have a scaly texture. Blepharitis is typically present in both of a patient's eyes. In some circumstances it can just damage one eye, however this is uncommon. Once blepharitis begins, it's possible to potentially get a secondary infection. The majority of instances are not contagious and do not result in permanent vision loss; however, they can be rather unpleasant.
