Expressing eyelids - I feel like I am doing it wrong

[DKott27]

My eyes are always more sore and uncomfortable after expressing eyelids so I don't even do it often anymore but I know it's necessary. So I take my finger and start at the top roll it down my eyelid and push down when I get to the bottom of the lid. Move over a centimeter or two and do it again across eyelid. Is this correct?

My doctor has told me not to roll down as it contributes to lowering of eyelid. Only to press on the eyelid. There are utube videos of expressing these and maybe even better than the advice given to me.

Maybe you are doing it too harsh? Check out YouTube videos. Do you do compresses?
