MGD compress & massage techniques

I was surprised to see the old hot flannel trick again - surely the microwaveable flax seed eye bag reduced the risk of scalding too hot to start with and rapid cooling which may melt the plugging only to let it harden again before you have the chance to massage/squeeze it out. I used a nice warm compress mask recommended by my optician and its not only more effective its safer and more pleasant. My tip, update your doctor/optometrist and your treatment. JG
