Blepharitis (Eyelid Inflammation) Treatment in Johor Bahru

Blefaritis (Radang Kelopak Mata)

Blepharitis is a common chronic condition where the edges of the eyelids become inflamed, red, and crusty. It is caused by bacterial overgrowth, blocked meibomian glands (the oil-producing glands in the eyelid), or skin conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and rosacea. In Malaysia, blepharitis is exacerbated by heat, humidity, and dust. It is not contagious and is not caused by poor hygiene, but it does require consistent daily eyelid care.

✓Red, swollen, itchy eyelid margins

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

Frequently Asked Questions

Is blepharitis contagious?▼

No, blepharitis is not contagious and cannot be spread to others. It is a chronic inflammatory condition of the eyelid margin, not an infection that passes between people.

Can blepharitis be cured permanently?▼

Blepharitis is a chronic condition that can be controlled but rarely cured permanently. Most patients manage it effectively with daily eyelid hygiene and occasional antibiotic treatment during flares. Our doctors at Klinik Muhibbah will guide you on long-term management.
