Hello from England

[elbarto]

Hi,

My name is Andy, I have recently been told I have MGD and blephartis and have just started the joys of hot compresses and trying to express oil (without much luck!). I am a contact lense wearer too.

I'm hoping I can learn from others on here and try and understand mroe about MGD and how to manage it.

Cheers,

Andy

Hi Andy,

there's a lot of great support and information here! Have you had a hormone panel done with your GP or another specialist by chance?

Hi Jads,

Yes I'm pleased to have found this site. Not had a hormone panel done, not sure what it is!

I've only been to see my optician and they have basically advised me to stop wearing contacts and to do the hot compress twice daily. I was initially using my fingers to try and express the glands but today I decide to try a qtip.
