Hi there,
Still struggling with MGD, hitting the 20 months mark soon, let's celebrate! Joking.
So, I had an appointment post ****** probe with my doc yesterday, and well... "Medical symptoms" are improving: TBUT on the left eye is still 4, but am now at 8 for the right one. What I don't get is how my BUT could be higher on my WORSE eye? This is nonsense. Physical symptoms are the same. I had 10 horrible days just after the intervention, couldn't open my eyes at all, but it didn't last hopefully.
My doc told me we had tried everything he had to offer (doxy, azyter, cyclosporine, castor oil drops, and probing), so next step is scleral lenses in may.
I feel devastated. I am so afraid I won't be able to tolerate them as I am VERY sensitive...
According to my doc, all my lower MG's are open but the meibum is too thick. The upper MG's tend to atrophy and are all plugged. According to what I've read, the upper atrophy could be related to my low estrogen levels. Anyone here facing the same issue?
And what can I do for the meibum quality ? I already use my blephasteam goggles twice a day, take 100mg of doxy, use cyclosporine... I don't know what to do and am really afraid about this atrophy thing
I'm thinking about trying autologous serum, but not sure it could work for me. Any reviews on this?
Thanks
