title: Chronic blepharitis: easy clinical interventions for a common problem.
abstract: Poor hygienic practices exacerbate blepharitis and impede successful resolution. Contact lens management and use of cosmetics are two frequent areas where simple interventions yield good results. Symptoms may include irritation, itching, burning, tearing, photophobia, and foreign body sensation. Treatment is the same for all causes and has the goal of removing offending irritants.
