Corrosion of eyelid and periocular area - what does this mean
Corrosion of the eyelid and periocular area occurs when the skin in these areas is exposed to an irritant, usually a chemical or an environmental factor such as wind or extreme temperatures. the irritation can cause the skin to become dry, red, and cracked, leading to damage or infection of the eyelid and surrounding tissue.
What happens during the disease - corrosion of eyelid and periocular area
Corrosion of the eyelid and periocular area is caused by a combination of factors including prolonged exposure to environmental irritants, such as dust, allergens, and smoke, as well as inadequate tear production and/or abnormal tear composition. this leads to the breakdown of the protective barrier of the eyelid and periocular area, allowing for increased penetration of these irritants and resulting in inflammation, redness, and pain. in some cases, the corrosion may lead to infection and scarring.
