A condition in which the meibomian glands become swollen.<\/p>\n

\n

Inflammation of an oil-secreting gland in the eyelid. The meibomian gland is located between the eyelid’s inner lining and the curved plate of\u00a0connective tissue that forms its basic structure.<\/p>\n

\n

Inflammation of the meibomian glands, which are oil-producing glands located in the eyelids, arises due to overly thick or excessive gland secretions. This leads to an excessive build-up of bacteria on the eyelids. Factors that can boost these secretions encompass facial skin conditions like acne or rosacea, allergic responses, and the hormonal shifts experienced during adolescence.<\/p>\n

\n

Signs of meibomianitis encompass inflammation of the eyelid rims, temporary vision blur from oily tear secretion, and recurrent styes. Thorough cleaning of the eyelids can alleviate these symptoms. An antibiotic eye ointment might be recommended to treat the infection.<\/p>\n
