Overview
Physical examination of patients with blepharitis is usually remarkable for irritated eyelid edges, hard crusting of the lashes, entropion, ectropion, poliosis, and diffuse conjunctival injection.[1][2]
Physical Examination
Skin
Common skin examination findings of blepharitis include:[1][2][3]
- Scalp or facial skin itching and flaking (seborrheic dermatitis)
- Facial flushing and Telangiectasia on cheeks and nose (acne rosacea)
Eye
Gross Eye Examination
Common eye examination findings of blepharitis include:[2][4][5]
- Pink or irritated eyelid edges
- Hard crusting of the lashes (staphylococcal blepharitis)
- Greasy appearing flakes (seborrheic blepharitis)
- Cylindrical dandruff on the base of lashes (Demodex folliculorum)
- Telangiectasia on the anterior eyelid
- Entropion
- Ectropion
- Trichiasis
- Madarosis
- Poliosis
- Distichiasis
- Diffuse conjunctival injection
Slit Lamp Examination
On slit lamp examination, blepharitis is characterized by:
- Meibomian gland enlargement
- Waxy secretions at the gland openings
- Lid margin neovascularization and dilation of existing blood vessels
- Ulcerations along the eyelid margin
- Corneal nodules
- Corneal margin ulcer
- Superficial corneal pannus
