Blepharitis is an inflammation of the eyelids, often close to the base of the lashes. It usually occurs when tiny oil glands between the lashes become clogged. These clogs often produce a crusty or oily appearance, with flaking of the skin around the eyes. The eyelids themselves may become red and swollen, and the eye may experience a gritty, burning or itchy sensation. While uncomfortable and even unsightly, blepharitis usually does not result in permanent eye damage.
