Which eye condition involves eyelids and/or glands located there becoming irritated and inflamed?

• A. Blepharitis
• B. Eye Redness
• C. Diplopia
• D. Watery Eyes

Answer: (A)

Blepharitis is inflammation of the eyelid margins and the glands located there, such as the Meibomian glands. This directly matches the description of eyelids and their associated glands becoming irritated and inflamed, often with redness, itching, and crusting at the lash line. The other options describe symptoms or problems not specific to lid and gland inflammation: eye redness is a general redness of the eye, diplopia means double vision, and watery eyes refer to tearing rather than lid/ gland inflammation.
