Blepharitis is an inflammation of the eyelids, the membrane covering the inside of the eyelid, and sometimes the white of the eye. You may notice a bump known as a cyst or stye on your eyelid, or maybe just swelling and redness. Your eye doctor can most often diagnose the problem by checking your eyelids, and may prescribe eyedrops or ointment to relieve your symptoms and may also suggest self-care you can do at home as keeping your eyelids clean is the only way to treat this problem.
