What is it?<\/h5>\n

Blepharitis<\/h1>\n

It is an inflammation at the edge of the eyelid (eyelid margin), mainly due to the glands located in this area of the eye producing too much fat. The accumulation of this fat favors the excessive proliferation of a series of bacteria (generally staphylococci), whose presence on the skin does not cause problems under normal conditions. <\/p>\n

The most common symptoms include redness of the conjunctiva and\/or eyelid margin, irritation of the eyelids or eyestrain. In more severe cases, the appearance of blepharitis may adversely affect vision. <\/p>\n

Some of the ocular complications resulting from blepharitis are styes and chalazia<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”3180″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” animation_easing=”default” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”50″ bottom_padding=”50″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” id=”tratamiento-esp” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_color=”#1c2940″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” shape_divider_height=”100″ bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”curve_opacity”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

In milder cases, it is recommended to perform a very careful and regular eyelid hygiene<\/strong>, which consists of washing the eyelids and eyelashes with a neutral PH soap and applying heat to the inflamed area ( Blepharolimpieza Exfoliating<\/strong> technique). The objective is to eliminate the excess of bacteria and grease that accumulates on the edges, since it has been proven that good hygiene <\/strong>hinders the obstruction of the sebaceous glands and prevents the creation of an environment conducive to the proliferation of these bacteria.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color=”#f8f8f8″ background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”1341″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]In the most severe cases, topical treatment with antibiotic and\/or anti-inflammatory eye drops may be required to alleviate the discomfort caused.<\/p>\n

It is advisable to treat this problem adequately to prevent the development of other pathologies such as stye and chalazion, as they may be associated with previous blepharitis.<\/p>\n
