Abstract
The eye is a unique structural and functional anatomic unit of the face and requires specific care and attention. Often, dermatologists are not familiar with the routine needs of the eyelid area. Despite evidence showing that lid hygiene may serve as an important supplement to therapeutic management of eyelid disorders, lid hygiene is often overlooked. Ophthalmologists and dermatologists have an important role to play in educating patients on the importance of proper eyelid hygiene and ensuring patient compliance. We review eyelid anatomy and function to better understand how these structures relate to potential disease processes. We also review current recommendations for routine eyelid care and discuss the need for further advancements in promoting eyelid health.
