Why are my eyelids oily and my eyes red and burning ?

Blepharitis: Often due to inflammation, blockage of eyelid glands. Try warm (not hot) soaks for 5-10 minutes at bedtime - keep rewarming washcloth as necessary. If no relief, see your eye dr.

Lid scrubs: Agree, you can also try lid scrubs where you take a qtip and tip it in very dilute baby shampoo and rub your lids to try to clean out any blocked oil glands. This can be done 1-2 times daily in addition to the warm compresses.
