Warm compression/rice baggy question.

[Feralfeline]

Good afternoon all,

I did the rice bag for my clogged glands last week. After just a few minutes I could feel liquid flowing in my eye. I did it for about 10 minutes. My eye was a lot more moist after that. The next day it was still moist, but I was having alot of moucus. I have done the compresses every day, but have not had the surge of liquid anymore. I tried leaving it on for 15-20 mins, but I am still not getting the liquid. Plus, my eye does not feel as good as it did the first time. Its like its not doing an good any more. : ( . Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Just speculating, but you may have had a large amount of meibum released the first time. And now there is less. 20 minutes is a long time for a warm compress, even 15 is a long time. You might try reducing the length of time. You might try 5 minutes, or even less. I do 2 minutes, 2x per day.

Thank you so much!. I will reduce the time.

Let us know if reducing the time helps.
