BLEPHARITIS

Posted , 3 users are following.

I have dry eyes and then had a red mark on my lower lid, it has a tiny clear like blister, I can sometimes feel it scratching my eye. Opticians said I have blepharitis. The redness has gone down but the blister is still there, anyone else had this with blepharitis? On looking up blepharitis, it doesn't show anything like this?

    I used to get them on my lids all the time...and yes,they do scratch the eye. I used to gently work a cotton bud covered in vaseline over them until they burst.They are a sure sign that your meibomian glands are becoming blocked and so you are experiencing dry eye.

    I get that too, i find warm compresses and massage get rid of them. i use an optase eye mask as it works better than a flannel.
