diagnosis<\/a>. The doctor will analyze your condition to see if you are dealing with the dysfunction. During the diagnostic process, your doctor uses a specialized examination technique known as “Slit Lamp Testing.” With SLT, the doctor uses a low-power microscope featuring an intense thin, light beam.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDuring the diagnosis, the doctor places the patient’s head in a fixed position. The lamp allows the physician to examine the eyelids’ exterior while the patient’s headrests in the chin and forehead support. After the examination, the doctor will tell you their findings and make treatment recommendations; the whole diagnostic process only takes a few minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The treatment recommendations come from the physician’s assessment of the cause. If blepharitis occurs as a complication of a skin condition, it usually requires mild treatments to manage the situation. However, if blepharitis occurs due to complications like Meibomian cysts or conjunctivitis, it could cause possible damage to the cornea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
