Blepharitis
Eyelid inflammation is known as blepharitis. This is often seen
as enlargements of the glands of the eyelids that will appear
as small abscesses on the inner surface of the eyelid. Gland contents
may be expressed by the ophthalmologist and the contents cultured.
Treatment will involve broad-spectrum antibiotics given by mouth,
topically applied antibiotics and warm, moist compresses.
