## **Why the Correct Answer is Right**
The correct answer, , is not a complication typically associated with ulcerative blepharitis. Ulcerative blepharitis complications usually include conditions like chalazion, stye (hordeolum), and potentially, marginal keratitis or corneal ulcers if the infection spreads.

- **Option B:** - This could be a complication due to chronic inflammation and scarring.
- **Option C:** - A known complication, as the infection can spread to the cornea.
## **Clinical Pearl / High-Yield Fact**
