dry eyes and blepharitis

I went to the doctors with all kinds of symptoms. Dry eyes and blepharitis is what has been diagnosed. But it seems that there is no cure for either of these.

I am in my 20's and all of a sudden I now have 2 incurable diseases. Does this mean I will have it for life? They get sore, itchy, red and irritated especially at night.

Thanks.

Do you despair because you hair and skin get dirty and you have to bathe and shampoo? Do you despiar because you have to brush your teeth everyday?

Its no different with a chronic disease like blepharitis/dry eyes. It takes what it takes to keep them comfortable for as long as it takes. That's life.

but its another (greater) inconvenience that has to be added to the list.

Can you tell me, how these conditions develop?

Is it a case of ''one day I caught blepharitis and now its permanent''?
