Blepharitis

There are two types of blepharitis and it is possible to have one or a combination of both types.  Seborrheic blepharitis is characterized by an excessive discharge of oil/grease from the skin around the eyelids.  Staphylococcal blepharitis is a bacterial infection and is more likely to result in infective eyelid conditions such as styes.  It is important to seek the advice of an ophthalmologist the first time you experience blepharitis.
