MGD cured(hopefully) by using oral antibiotics(azy+dioxy) 29M

I had evaporative dry eye disease for more than a year. Normal shirmer test results, all blood tests negative.
What I tried:
Omega 3, anti-inflamatory diet, green tea+lemon, milacrous diets, nothing that you usually read here works at all.

Also tried IPL, ILUX and hypochlorous...

Mgd treatments

Are there any new treatments of mgd that are in the pipeline? Thanks

probing of glands

I called the Manchester dry eye clinic, apparently if glands have dropped out they cannot probe them, only if they are blocked.

I currently have 30% of glands left and believe some will have dropped out.

Anyone have experience with probing and can inform?
