It is a fairly common but often recurrent condition that can cause persistent eye discomfort.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]It usually affects both eyes and may be anterior<\/b> (affecting the skin at the base of the eyelashes) or posterior<\/b> (involving the Meibomian glands, which are responsible for the lipid secretion of the tear film). Sometimes, the two forms overlap.<\/p>\n
