It can further lead to the blurring of vision, missing or misdirected eyelashes, and inflammation of the cornea. According to studies cited in the review of Optometry, a huge number of Americans suffer from itchy eyes caused by allergies. As per experts, blepharitis is seen in people of all ages, ethnicities, and gender, but it is more common among individuals of age 50 and above. According to the survey conducted by the American Academy of Ophthalmology, 37–47% of patients had a sign of blepharitis in the US. Moreover, based on the estimation of Lemp et al, 86% of patients with dry eyes have concomitant blepharitis, while more than 25 million Americans suffer from blepharitis. Companies are focused on developing topical products for the cosmetic treatment of eyelashes. For instance, LATISSE, i.e., 0.03% bimatoprost ophthalmic solution, is an FDA-approved drug to increase eyelashes' length, thickness, and darkness in patients with hypotrichosis. Thus, the rising prevalence of eye disease is driving the growth of eyelash-enhancing agents' as these products are prescribed to grow thicker and longer eyelashes.
