A member asked:
Please help! what is this white "foam" on the outer corner of my eyes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blepharitis?: The "foam" may be a sign of anterior blepharitis, otherwise know as meibomitis. It is a chronic condition that is due to poor quality oil secretions from the eyelids, and can lead to irritated, dry eyes. See an eye MD for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
