Seborrheic blepharitis is associated with dandruff of the scalp and may be part of an overall skin disease (seborrhea) which also affects the chest, back, and behind the ears.

CONT

With seborrheic blepharitis, the glands of the eyelid produce an abnormal quantity and quality of teat film, which normally coats, protects, and lubricates the eye. Several factors including hormones, nutrition, general physical condition, and stress my contribute to the development of this condition.

Seborrheic blepharitis (nonulcerative) is usually associated with the presence of Pityrosporum ovale, although this organism has not been shown to be the etiologic factor.
