How long are you supposed to leave warm compress's on for blepharitis?

i usually do 15 minutes and it helped me i guess.i also tried cold compresses but warm compresses are better.

Doctors recommend 10 mn at least.

[MGD1701]

Doctors recommend from 5-20 min.
All doctors just told me 10 min. but after experiments/studies (took 3 months),
what work for me are:

13-15 min, 43-*45C
in the morning moist heat (to remove debris etc) &
before bed dry heat (only because it is easier)

The tricks: constant heat, 45C and enough time.
If you feel oil is flowing and feel great afterwards then it is correct.

*45C
The study by C. Blackie (partner of Dr D. Korb, inventor of LipiFlow) suggests that
warm compresses are more effective when the temperature reaches 45°C (113°F) and are frequently reheated,
so called, Bundle method

I found this one is also useful, also mention 1) 45C, 2) reheat
