Posterior blepharitis is an inflammation of the eyelids, secondary to dysfunction of the meibomian glands. Like anterior blepharitis, it is a bilateral chronic condition and may be associated with skin rosacea. [1] There is growing evidence that, in some cases, it is caused by demodex mites. [16]
People with dermatochalasis often also have blepharitis, a condition caused by the plugging of glands in the eye that produce lubricating fluid (meibomian glands). [2] Dermatochalasis can be severe enough that it pushes the eyelashes into the eye, causing entropion. [2] Weakness in the orbital septum may cause the herniation of the orbital fat ...
Blepharochalasis is an inflammation of the eyelid that is characterized by exacerbations and remissions of eyelid edema, which results in a stretching and subsequent atrophy of the eyelid tissue, leading to the formation of redundant folds over the lid margins.
Ophthalmological conditions: blepharitis is an infection of the eyelid. Anterior blepharitis is either staphylococcal blepharitis, or seborrhoeic blepharitis and posterior blepharitis is due to the meibomian gland. Dermatologic conditions: there are multiple types of dermatological conditions that can result in madarosis.
Conjunctivochalasis, also known as mechanical dry eye (MDE), is a common eye surface condition characterized by the presence of excess folds of the conjunctiva located between the globe of the eye and the eyelid margin.
Keratoconjunctivitis is a term used to describe inflammation of both the cornea (the clear, front part of the eye) and the conjunctiva (the thin, transparent membrane covering the white part of the eye and lining the inside of the eyelids). This condition can have various causes, and its presentation may vary depending on the underlying factors.
The symptoms and signs associated with convergence insufficiency are related to prolonged, visually demanding, near-centered tasks. They may include, but are not limited to, diplopia (double vision), asthenopia (eye strain), transient blurred vision, difficulty sustaining near-visual function, abnormal fatigue, headache, and abnormal postural adaptation, among others.
Patients suffering from blepharospasm also report sensory symptoms including sensitivity to light, [14] [15] dry eyes, [16] and burning sensation and grittiness in the eyes. [4] Although such symptoms tend to precede the onset of the blepharospasm, they may both be due to a common third factor.
