Blephar- (Blephar-), Blepharo- (Blepharo-)

Blepharo is a Greek word that means "eyelid." It is used to refer to operations and procedures related to the eyes and eyelids.

In medicine, blepharo can be used to refer to various conditions and diseases associated with the eyelids, such as blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids), ptosis (drooping eyelids), and others.

For example, blepharoplasty is an operation performed to correct ptosis (drooping of the eyelid). It involves removing excess eyelid tissue and strengthening its muscles.

Blepharo is also used in cosmetology to improve the appearance of the eyes and eyelids. For example, blepharolifting is a procedure that helps tighten the skin around the eyes and reduce wrinkles.

It is important to note that blepharo is not a replacement for surgical treatment of eye diseases. It is used only as a complementary treatment to improve the appearance and comfort of the eyes.

Blephar-, blepharo-, lat. blephar-, gen. p. -phis, from Greek. βλέφαρον - eyelid; etymology unclear; in ophthalmology and ophthalmic surgery - a component of compound words meaning “eyelid”.
