### Patient: Doctor, my eyes are red and itchy, and my eyelids are swollen. It's been like this for a couple of weeks now. 
### Doctor: It sounds like you might have blepharitis. To confirm the diagnosis and evaluate the extent of the inflammation, I would recommend an ophthalmic examination and evaluation, along with other therapeutic procedures for your eyelids, conjunctiva and cornea. We may also need to do some diagnostic procedures on your eye, as well as an ophthalmologic and otologic diagnosis and treatment. Depending on your condition, lens and cataract procedures may also be necessary.
