  • Allergies and dry eye

    For anyone who suspects an allergic component to their dry eye, very informative video. Discusses diagnostics and treatment.

    (I know this is really nondescriptive) but there was also a study done where they were able to show reason to believe that there was a link between GPC and MGD. The best they could confirm is that the intensity of one's GPC often directly fluctuated with severity of one's MGD. It makes sense though. Allergies and dry eye both deal with inflammation.

        I suspected that my mgd was caused by allergies, and if you consider what allergies do--cause chronic, often severe, inflammation--it makes sense that it would affect the meibomian glands. After 4 years of agony, special allergy shots have pretty much cured me
