Common Causes of Blepharitis
What causes this bacteria to grow? For some patients, it’s connected to a dermatological condition like eczema or psoriasis. For others, it could be connected to dry eyes. Or, there could be an underlying fungal infection that must be treated. Only an eye doctor can accurately diagnose the root cause of your blepharitis and prescribe an effective treatment.
