Overview
Physical examination of patients with blepharitis is usually remarkable for irritated eyelid edges, hard crusting of the lashes or greasy appearing flake, entropion, ectropion, poliosis, and diffuse conjunctival injection.[1][2]

- Greasy appearing flake (seborrheic blepharitis)
- Cylindrical dandruff covers base of lash (Demodex folliculorum)
- Telangiectasia on the anterior eyelid
