include asthma (perhaps surprisingly), COPD, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, mesothelioma,
smoker's cough, AIDS-related respiratory conditions (see AIDS), chronic pneumonia, and other respiratory diseases.
Rare possibilities include diseases like psittacosis (bird-related lung infection).

Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Red eyelids.
Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing
your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information
you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis.
Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:
- How long have you had the red eyelid? - to determine if acute or chronic.
- Is it unilateral or bilateral? - If unilateral may suggest stye, chalazion, ocular shingles or allergy. If bilateral, may suggest blepharitis, rosacea or allergy.
- Where exactly is the eyelid red? - e.g. blepharitis causes diffuse redness, burning, itching and discomfort of the lid margins; styes cause painful, localized swelling and redness of the lid margin, usually on the side of the lid closest to the nose.
- Have you been putting any new drops, ointments or cosmetics in or around the eyes? - may suggest allergic reaction as the cause of eyelid redness.
- Past medical history? - e.g. blepharitis may be associated with seborrheic dermatitis, eczema or Rosacea; bacterial sinusitis may be complicated y orbital cellulitis.

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)
Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse
your condition.
The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Red eyelids) may include:
- Itchy eye? - may suggest allergies or blepharitis.
- Symptoms of a stye? - e.g. painful , tender, red, swelling of the lid, which after a few days localizes and cures itself spontaneously by discharging pus at the lash base.
- Symptoms of a Chalazion (meibomian gland cyst)? - e.g. firm, non-tender lump in the lid. The lump may have a history of redness and swelling with previous infection.
- Symptoms of blepharitis? - e.g. eyelids have burning, itching and red margins, eyelashes may have crusting and scales, discharge or stickiness especially in the morning. If present for years there may be loss of eyelashes or distortion (in-growing) of the eyelashes. There may be a Staphylococcal bacterial infection which can cause severe inflammation with pus-like discharge.
- Symptoms of Ocular shingles? - e.g. pain, tingling and numbness around the eye may precede a blistering red rash and eyelid swelling. Fifty percent of people have the eye itself affected with either corneal ulcers, episcleritis or iritis.
