Blepharitis ICD-10-CM Codes

Bacterial infections, seborrheic dermatitis, meibomian gland dysfunction, or allergies can cause blepharitis.

‍

Treatments include eyelid hygiene, warm compresses, antibiotic or steroid eye drops or ointments, and treating any underlying conditions.

If not adequately managed, blepharitis can lead to complications such as blurry vision, eyelid scarring, or more severe eye conditions.
