Blepharitis is best described as?

  1. Excessive tearing of the eyes

  2. Inflammation of the eyelid margin

  3. A lack of lens in the eye

  4. Growth of new blood vessels in the retina

The correct answer is: Inflammation of the eyelid margin

Blepharitis is characterized as an inflammation of the eyelid margin. This condition typically results from a bacterial infection, seborrheic dermatitis, or malfunction of the oil glands in the eyelids. Individuals with blepharitis may experience symptoms such as redness, irritation, itching, and crusting along the margins of the eyelids. Since the condition specifically affects the eyelid area, recognizing it as inflammation helps distinguish it from other eye-related issues. The other options describe different ocular conditions and are not related to the inflammation of the eyelid margin.
