How to unblock a blocked meibomian gland?

[Anonymous]

Doing the warm compress thing and also tried some antibiotic drops and it's not working. What worked for you?

Watered down baby shampoo. Scrub eyelids 3x/day. It’s not one gland—these are distributed all along the waterline of the eye.

Fish oil pills and borage seed oil supplements

you need tovsee an opthmal. who kniws whst tgey are doing. They will run surface tests (called a Schirmer test) to
determine how bad your condition us and give you (if they are good) a refined diagnosis. For example I thought I had simple dry eye, then went to a better Dr and he said I had ovular surface disease and something else like kerato sicca (can't remember the previse term). The best doc put me on autologous eye drops; warm compresses morning and mght; I tape my eyes shut with Stay Tite at night; I do not rake any allergy or OTC sleep aids (tgey dry out everything in hour head). I stay away from fans. I never wear contacts. I always wear sunglasses when outside. This can be a very serious condition that can kead to blindness. Do not talk to an optician or optometrist. Go to the best Opthal. who is au courante on trends in dry eye. I go quarterlyto UVA. I've heard Johns Hopkins is good, well

NP. I have seen both optometrists and ophthalmologists for different things and tbh the optometrist did a great job diagnosing and treating my MBG and ocular rosacea.

This. With a washcloth or a q-tip.
