Overview

Blepharitis was first described in the 19th century as a conjunctivitis meibominae and meibomian seborrhea.[1]

Historical Perspective

In 1894, Lydston et al. first described the clinical entity "conjunctivitis meibomianae" in a patient with accumulated sebaceous-like material in the meibomian glands.[2]

In 1908, Elschnig et al. adopted the term "conjunctivitis meibomianae" and reported the symptom of hypersecretion of the meibomian glands with resolution by emptying of the glands in conjunction with astringents.[3]
