Blepharitis is a very common ophthalmologic disease, and few studies have examined if air pollutants contribute to the risk of blepharitis. We investigated the presence of any potential correlation between exposure to air pollution and outpatient admission for blepharitis in Shanghai, China. Data on daily outpatient admission for blepharitis were collected from January 2017 to July 2022. Air pollution and meteorological data were acquired from the Shanghai Environmental Protection Agency. Using the distributed lag non-linear model (DLNM) we investigated the relationship between air pollutants and blepharitis. Seasonal stratified analysis was carried out. In total, 10,681 blepharitis patients were recruited. In the single-pollutant model, a 10 μg/m3increase in particulate matter with < 2.5 μm PM2.5and 10 μm PM10along with sulfur dioxide (SO2) and 100 μg/m3increase in carbon monoxide (CO) was significantly associated with outpatient visits for blepharitis. In the multi-pollutant model, a 10 μg/m3increase in ozone (O3) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and a 100 μg/m3increase in carbon monoxide (CO) was significantly associated with outpatient visits for blepharitis. Moreover, there was an obvious relationship between blepharitis and PM2.5and O3in the summers and blepharitis and PM10, NO2, and SO2during the winters. Exposure to short-term air pollution increases the risk of blepharitis outpatient visits in Shanghai, China.
