probing of glands

[bcn90]

If you still have some glands producing meibum, you should defenitly try probing technique, I tried it and didnt find any improvement cause it was too late and my glands already dropped out. you still can save this 30%glands, having them is better than 0 glands trust me, do it ASAP. Some probing techniques might be more effective than others, some doctors probe and after they inject azytromicin in the gland to improve the function. Also probing has to be repeated every 6 months or so to mantain them, is not a one time fix. If you combine this with some sessions of optima IPL, u can improve a lot! Take care!

I called the Manchester dry eye clinic, apparently if glands have dropped out they cannot probe them, only if they are blocked.

I currently have 30% of glands left and believe some will have dropped out.

Anyone have experience with probing and can inform?
