Blepharitis
Blepharitis occurs when your eyelids become irritated. It is mostly caused by clogging of the oil glands on your eyelid. It can also be caused by an overgrowth of mites or bacteria (demodex) on the eyelids. Blepharitis is known to affect your two eye. However, its symptoms can also be observed in only one eye.
Its Symptoms are:
- Pain
- Tearing
- Burning
When blepharitis gets infected, it can result in other symptoms, such as an infected lump on your eye known as a stye and a colored discharge. You can treat the condition with a neat, warm compress. This helps decrease the inflammation and reduce the clogs in your eye gland. If the symptoms persist, your doctor will prescribe steroids or ointments that can help prevent infection. You can take antibiotics to treat infected blepharitis. Other in-office treatment methods such as thermal pulsation and microblepharoexfoliation can also help treat the condition.
Conclusions
Watering and burning in the eyes can be caused by many factors. The most common symptoms are redness and irritation. You can treat the symptoms at home. However, you will need to talk to your eye doctor if the symptoms persist or worsen.
