Blepharitis i was diagnosed this past summer with a mild form of this chronic disorder. will this disorder get worse with time?

Not necessarily: Frequent warm compresses are the best therapy. You could also try nightly lid scrubs (baby shampoo to clean your eyelashes). In more severe cases, oral antibiotics can be helpful.
