    Its very normal with Blepharitis. You must keep the eye well lubricated. If its not well lubricated it can get inflamed from all sorts of factors like breeze,dust,pollen,spores. Even a small movement of air can set them off and central heating can dry them out.

    I have glaucoma which is well controlled with drops but I also have Blepharitis and my eyes often flare like yours,if they dry out, especially in the Winter
