Symptoms Of Blepharitis

Eyelash Problems

As we have already explained, blepharitis affects the eyelashes and the area around them. Therefore, it is not surprising it can cause some problems with the eyelashes themselves. Worse, blepharitis can cause eyelashes to grow improperly and become a hindrance rather than a help. Crusted eyelashes are also more likely to fall out.

This is referring to a condition called trichiasis, the technical term for a condition in which the eyelashes grow inward. Usually, the function of the eyelashes are to help keep debris and dirt out of the eye, but when the eyelashes grow inward, they are a constant irritation. As you rub and pick at your eyes, screaming at the sky because you can't even go about your day, eyelashes will tend to come loose and be lodged in the eye socket, creating even more irritation.
