Blepharitis: Blepharitis or meibomian gland disease is the most common cause of eyelash crusting. You should see your eye md to be evaluated and for treatment and prevention routines.

Blepharitis: Sounds like you have lid inflammation, or blepharitis. I'd recommend using ocusoft pads (available over the counter) and wiping the eyelashes clean. If it doesn't work, see your eye md.
