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.

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

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