Environmental factors can exacerbate blepharitis symptoms, making it important to identify and manage these triggers. Dry, windy, or polluted environments can increase irritation and inflammation, while allergens like dust or pollen can worsen symptoms. Individuals should aim to protect their eyes by wearing sunglasses outdoors and using air purifiers indoors. Humidifiers can also help maintain adequate moisture levels, preventing dryness that can aggravate blepharitis. By being aware of environmental factors and taking proactive measures, individuals can minimize their impact on eye health, transforming blepharitis from an unavoidable nuisance into a manageable condition.

Stress is a well-known trigger for many health conditions, and blepharitis is no exception. High stress levels can exacerbate inflammation and disrupt immune function, leading to flare-ups. Managing stress through relaxation techniques such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises can have a positive impact on blepharitis symptoms. Regular physical activity and adequate sleep also play a role in stress management and overall health. By addressing stress as part of their blepharitis management plan, individuals can reduce the frequency and severity of flare-ups, transforming the condition into a more manageable aspect of their lives.
