Started up rice baggy and q-tip and right eye is swollen today

[yoganut]

After trying Rosacea III discs (by the way I'm not plugging or proponing this treatment in any way shape or form) i've finally decided its not working for me and started up with the rice baggy last night to try to express my unclogged glands. i heated the bag up for about 1 min 30 (my micro isn't powerful) and it felt good for while. I noticed my vision was blurry afterwards. then I got a warm q-tip (ran it under hot water) and gently pressed along my eyelid margin. this morning I noticed my right eye (this is the worst one - is swollen all along the eyelid margin. My eye feels dry and squeeky. I thought this was supposed to help? Does the fact that my eyelid swelled indicate I may have ocular rosacea afterall? The one time i was referred to an opth he just said to rub my eyes with a hot wet washcloth so I guess that tells me I have mgd, the next time I went back, after no improvement they put me on Restasis - which I've given up taking, as I don't think it will help my problem. Should I continue with the MGD expression?

You might want to move this question into Dr. Latkany's bin. While I'm sure there's a lot of knowledgeable people here, that sounds like a question for a professional.

Good luck!!
