Doxy for MGD

No clue on the emojis, but appreciate your insight. Hard to find people with a solid understanding of biology.

I was good in biology in high school and my parents wanted me to be a doctor. I ended up being a mechanical engineer... LOL

My parents wanted the same, for me to be a doctor or a lawyer. Ended up working for our family business and going to college for 7 years for fun. Ended up with 270+ credit hours of business, biology, chemistry and philosophy. I loved college, was one of the best times of my life.

Good thing is that you pursued what you wanted to do. At the end of the day it matters if you become what you always wanted to be. You loved college because you loved learning things. You had interests in multiple subjects because you have an inherent quest for learning irrespective of its direct relevance to you. Most people I have come across study something because they want something out of it or take it as a profession. I have seldom met people who are interested in learning something only to gain knowledge and quench their inquisitiveness.

But who knows! Maybe you could have been a world famous opthalmologist (dry eye specialist) had you pursued your studies in biology and took it as a profession!!!

We could have benefitted out of it lol.

Thank you and I cannot agree more about people drive for education. Most people are there just to pass the class. I didn’t care what my grades were, as long as I understood the information.

Ill never forget when this hit me. I was in molecular biology and we just went over a test we took. The final question was rejetively hard. She asked, if you have a patient with copd receiving oxygen and you increase the concentration, what happens to the patient? Long story short, they stop breathing by the way, so super important to know that lol.

I asked the the girl who set the curve in the class, what did you answer for that question. She said to me, dude, after I passed that test, I forgot everything I studied. This was the person who got the highest grade in the class. I got a C+ on that test but I realize I understood the information better than the person with the A+. Shocking revelation. I genuinely love learning. I would love learning about dry eye more if I weren’t actually suffering from it lol.

Very well said..... Couldn't have agreed more on that...ROFL

I am visit my opthalmologist for the second time in three days from today after roughly 4.5 months. Any advice?

I guess they might suggest a lipiflow or IPL but my problem isn't lipids solidifying. Rather the epithelial cappings over my gland openings. Haven't done a lipiview or a lipiscan yet. I am already feeling nervous thinking about the outcome of this consultation.Will be visiting the eye hospital travelling 1959 kms from my location and travelling back the distance. Expecting something more fruitful this time. Pretty sure that the doctor would be shocked to learn I am taping my eyes without her advice lol.

Man I’m not sure what advice to give. I just got my pressure checked today it was a tad bit high. I would say put together a list of questions so you dont forget. If you feel this dr isn’t answering your question with confidence, you may have to see another doctor. I guess my best advice is find a good doctor. If she’s not the one, move on. Because I wasted way too much time at the wrong doctors getting no help. I couldn’t gage done this myself. So he key is finding someone that can think out of the basic MGD box. There are A LOT of reasons the kids could be malfunctioning, getting someone to find the root cause is the hard part.

Get all all the testing you can. Good luck with the Lipiview. Sorry for the delay.
