Blepharitis is a condition in which chronic inflammation of the
eyelid margins causes symptoms of irritation
MGD results when the condition affects the inside rims of the
eyelids which contain the meibomian glands:

the lids lubricated however it can become blocked and cause dysfunction

manually express the glands
