DRY EYELIDS: Why Are My Eyelids Very Dry?

Jan from Mincher-Lockett Opticians in Stafford answers the question.

Dry skin on your eyelids can cause your eyelids to be flaky, scaly, and rough. Symptoms that may accompany dry skin on the eyelid include irritation, redness, and itchiness, among others.

The skin on your eyelids is unique when compared to other parts of your body. The eyelid skin is thinner than other skin and there’s not a lot of fat cushioning it. Additionally, the eyelids and surrounding areas are very vascular, meaning that a lot of blood flows through vessels around the eye. Therefore, irritants or skin conditions may be more likely to affect your eyelid than other parts of your body.
