Hi All
I have MGD and as is common am locked in a vicious cycle of inflamation causing poor gland function causing inflammation. So it seems inflammation is the enemy (or at least one of them!)
Ibuprofen is used as an anti inflammatory therefore my theory is that the gel used as pain relief (typically for back ache etc) could be used to lessen the inflammation & pain surrounding the eye.
This is only theory please do not try this as it could have disaterous consequences - I just want to see if this idea can be discussed.
So the question is - could a Ibuprofen based gel be used around the eye to reduce inflammation - is there already such a thing?
Thanks
Ellis
