A member asked:

I have blepharitis and ocular rosacea. today i noticed clear blister about the size of a pin head where lower lid meets eye. it burst but can see it.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Meibomian gland: dysfunction from blepharitis can cause meibomian gland cysts to occur. Good lid hygiene with diligent lid scrubs found over the counter is a good start. Your ophthalmologist can treat you with medication or procedures to alleviate the symptoms and sometimes eliminate the cause.
