Blepharitis Types

Blepharitis Types

There are two types of blepharitis:

  • Anterior: Found on the outside of the eyelid, including the area where your eyelashes attach
  • Posterior: Found on the inside of the eyelid, next to your eyeball, and tied to problems with oil (meibomian) glands

Some patients have both types at the same time.
