Primary infection of the eye is usually sub-clinical but reactivation of a latent infection can lead to recurrent disease. Although, herpetic blepharitis is a well documented entity, this virus has so far not been incriminated in the causation of meibomianitis, an inflammatory condition of the meibomian gland.
