Dr. Nitesh Bhalla at Clarity Eye Care
Are Your Eyelids Red, Swollen, or Crusted? You're Not Alone
If you’re experiencing irritated, inflamed eyelids that make you feel uncomfortable and self-conscious, you may have blepharitis. This is a very common eye condition that affects many people, but the good news is that effective treatment is available right here in Wakad and Hinjewadi.
At Clarity Eye Care, Dr. Nitesh Bhalla understands how frustrating and uncomfortable blepharitis can be. Our compassionate approach to treatment focuses not only on managing your symptoms but also on helping you regain comfort and confidence in your daily life.
What Is Blepharitis?
Blepharitis is inflammation of your eyelids that causes them to become red, swollen, and uncomfortable. You might notice crusty flakes or scales at the base of your eyelashes, especially when you wake up in the morning.
This is a very common condition and can affect one or both eyes. It is a chronic condition that requires continuous monitoring.
How Do You Know If You Have Blepharitis?
Common signs and symptoms include:
Red, swollen eyelids that may feel tender to touch
Crusty, flaky debris at the base of your eyelashes
Burning, stinging, or gritty sensation in your eyes
Excessive tearing or unusually dry eyes
Itchy eyelids that you find yourself rubbing frequently
Sensitivity to light that makes you squint
Eyelashes that fall out more than usual
Foamy tears or abnormal discharge
Blurred vision that comes and goes
These symptoms are often worse in the morning. If you have blepharitis, wearing contact lenses can be a challenging task.
Why Does Blepharitis Happen?
Understanding the cause of your blepharitis helps us create the most effective treatment plan for you. Common causes include:
Bacterial overgrowth
Normal bacteria on your skin can sometimes multiply excessively, leading to inflammation.
Seborrheic dermatitis
If you have dandruff or oily skin, it can also affect your eyelids.
Meibomian gland dysfunction
The tiny glands in your eyelids that produce oils for your tears may become blocked or inflamed.
Demodex mites
These microscopic mites naturally inhabit our skin but can occasionally cause problems. Recent research indicates that Demodex infestation is responsible for more than two-thirds of all blepharitis cases.
Underlying conditions, such as rosacea
allergies, or other skin conditions, can contribute to eyelid inflammation.
