I'm Alex: Male 35 - Healthy/Atheletic/...Concerned.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Symptoms/Concerns/Questions:
-TBUT was 3 seconds.
How bad is this? Doc said normal is 10 sec. Does this mean my eyes are in seriously bad shape? Can TBUT be improved? Also, can it be affected by a full glass of red wine I had earlier in the day?
-I've been getting one or two blocked meiobian glands a week that resolve on there own in a couple of days. Doc said my eyelids looked clean otherwise. Can this be normal/harmless, or further evidence of a serious problem that is inevitable.
-I like to wear contacts (purevision toric) primarily when I play sports. So all I really ask of my wear time is around 4 hours 4-5 days a week. Is this ok or should I stop wearing them all together?
I have no pain, redness or any other symptoms. Please help me to understand where I stand in all of this and how concerned I should be? I guess I'm a little freaked out after reading through some of the other posts.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP!
