Posterior blepharitis causes a foreign body sensation or burning is more pronounced when the patient wakes up from sleep. The morning peak in the symptoms are the result of the accumulation of inflammatory mediators under eyelids while sleeping. As the disease progresses, the meibomian glands tend to fibrosis, which eventually decreases the release of inflammatory mediators, which reduces symptoms upon awakening, however, the discomfort during the day worse by secondary dysfunction tear film. Anterior blepharitis of staphylococcal origin produces scabs and sores at the base of the eyelashes. The eyelids are glued when the patient wakes up, eyes are red and there is a foreign body sensation maintained all day. The skin near the eyelids may also swell. If blepharitis is extended shingles contagious in time without treatment the loss of eyelashes occurs. Anterior blepharitis lacks the diurnal variation of the intensity that is characteristic of the later form of the disease. Photophobia is common among patients with blepharitis. In children, it can be so severe that it may have difficulty playing outdoors on bright days.

The epithelium shingles contagious is disturbed, the number of goblet cells is reduced and decreased mucin production.
The eyelid hygiene is essential in the treatment of blepharitis and there are many specific and appropriate product for this purpose that your ophthalmologist may recommend.

In children with blepharitis tetracycline should not send so that erythromycin is an acceptable alternative. Patients should continue with eyelid hygiene while taking prescribed medications. In addition, also antibiotics and topical steroids may be helpful but always under supervision by an ophthalmologist.
