I went to the opticians today, just to check out how my blepharitis was getting on,but saw a different optician. She advised me I had MGD, pre-blepharitis, but her colleague 3 months ealier said I had blepharitis - is MGD a form of blepharitis?
Also, her collegue had advised me, at the end of the lid wipe etc, pre drops, to splash cold water on, but yesterday I was advised not to do this, as it will have the reverse effect of the hot compress on the glands, and close them up again. Thing is, the cold water splashed on my eyes makes them feel so comfortable in the morning, any advice?
Finally, I expressed some of the oil from my eyes today, for the first time, which was worryingly easy, and alot came out, but am I then supposed to wipe that away? What do you all do? I'm a bit confused now, and I know there's a film over my eyes now I don't want to aggrevate the situation, or give myself an infection. Any advice - please? Thank you
