ointment?

[autumnn]

Hi All- Well like most of us here I am working on finding what works for me. I am also following the eye docs advice. I have had some encouraging days and some really dry days (usually after a lot of lid therapy...why?)....when I really need something ointment is what I use. My eye doc said that it is ok to use this as often as i need it but when i do research a lot of people advise against it....does anyone have any personal experiences with ointments, especially with MGD and long term use?
Thanks in advance!

Autumnn, from this board, I believe you'll get lots of thumb's up on GenTeal Gel. True, It's a "gel" but most find it works better than a petroletum product such as the thicker "vaseline-line" ointments. It washes off the lashes easier and doesn't make such a mess. If you don't have access to the gel, something like Refresh PM will work. It might be something you need to try and see what you like best.
