Posterior blepharitis refers to inflammation of the inner eyelid, typically caused by blocked or dysfunctional meibomian glands. It’s also known as meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).
What are the symptoms of MGD / posterior blepharitis?
Common symptoms include dry, itchy, or burning eyes, blurry vision, irritation, and a gritty sensation, often worsening throughout the day.
Is posterior blepharitis the same as dry eye?
MGD is a leading cause of evaporative dry eye. The two conditions are closely linked, and treating posterior blepharitis often improves dry eye symptoms.
