I understand posterior blepharitis is inflammation eyelid condition and MGD happens when meibomain glands do not work properly. If I am not wrong MGD and posterior blepharitis are 2 different things
But I am not able to understand who causes whom.
Does posterior blepharitis causes MGD or vice versa?
In posterior blepharitis because of the inflammation of inner eyelid, meibomain glads gets blocked and they can't induce enough oil into tear film. But it does not mean that
meibomain glands internally has stopped producing oil. I mean if inflammation goes down, glands should start working properly (after initial warm compression and expression to remove initial blockage).
Second when you have inflammation, why doctors suggest warm compression in case of posterior blepharitis? To me it seems contradictory.
I am totally confused so thought to ask this questions to experts here
