I was using a vaseline-based erythromycin for blepharitis treatment and I seemingly blocked either meibomian or lacrimal glands. Result was a very very swollen eyelid and red eye for 2 weeks. I don't think the red eye was from an infection, but from lack of tears
My question is: how common is it for vaseline-based treatments to block the glands? I would like to be able to use erythromycin in the future, if necessary, but not at the risk of blocking the meibomian glands. Is there another option???
