Overview

Blepharitis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause eye itching, irritation, burning, and foreign body sensation such as allergic contact dermatitis, conjunctivitis, trichiasis, dry eye syndrome, keratitis, hordeolum, chalazion, rosacea, and sebaceous carcinoma.

Differentiating Blepharitis from Other Diseases

Blepharitis must be differentiated from other conditions associated with eyelid inflammation, including:[1]
