  • Meibomitis- Please help me!

    Hi,

    For 2.5 years now I am having trouble with posterior blepharitis. My main problem is that I get capped gland orifices with clear meibomian oil trapped in them. I do warm compress, massage and clean my eyelids with a q-tip. I do not have much dry eye problems. I still use preservative free drops to soothe my eyes 3 times a day. Only steroids help my capped glands temporarily but nothing else reduces their frequency. I get these capped glands or bumps at least every 3rd or 4th day. My lower lids are worse than upper lids. I have read very few people mention or discuss the problem that I have. Most people have dry eyes or blocked glands (without the bumps), or redness or inflammation. I need to connect with people who have the same problem as me. Who can help me figure out what I can do about this extremely irritating and persistent condition. It irritates my eyes daily and when I get the bumps/capped glands its difficult to do anything except sleeping.
    Please help me.

    Have you asked your Dr. if it would be ok to use the steroid drops when you get bad, but only short term (like that day)? Would that be enough?

    Or, what about Doxycycline? That is apparently very effective for MGD for some people and can be used long-term.
