Overview
Other diagnostic studies for blepharitis include slit lamp examination, tear break up time (TBUT), and measurement of tear osmolarity.[1][2][3]
Other Diagnostic Studies
Other diagnostic studies for blepharitis include:[1][2][3][4]
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
Tear Break Up Time
On tear break up time (TBUT), blepharitis is characterized by tear film instability and rapid evaporation.
Measurement of Tear Osmolarity
Other diagnostic studies for blepharitis concurrent with dry eye syndrome include measurement of tear osmolarity, which demonstrates the tear osmolarity of 316 mOsm/L or greater.
Images
The following are slit lamp examination images associated with blepharitis.[1][5]
-
Gland expression performed at the slit lamp
-
Waxy secretions at the gland openings
-
Cloudy expressed meibum (arrows)
-
Corneal pannus
