MG probing by Dr ******

[djb]

Contacted Dr. ******/office and it will cost me at least two grand for a one day visit to get my MGs probed/tested/initial visit/transportation from Baltimore/food etc. (out of network). I'm sure it will bring relief, but for how long??? It would be nice to get a little oil on the eyes before winter starts. I forget what that feels like! Dr. ****** is on the right track I believe. I've started to email local doctor offices to let them know of his procedure. His procedure is available now to doctors around the country. They can order his instructional video and instrumentation through Rhein Medical. Here's a link to the instructional video (looks less painful than the 'fugo blade' from India video):

Finally something that might offer longer term relief. Now I just hope that it does in fact prove to be safe and successful in the long term and that it comes to a doctor's office near me!

Wasn't that picture something?

Sounds great, so I can choose between IPL and this procedure in the future? Anyway, I really need a treatment!!! So good news!
How often does it need to be done?

Thanks for this.

An interesting article - presumably the eye would be numbed a little before the probe was used?

The description of `heavy lids, irritation, gummy lids and lid awareness..' certainly applies to me....

Hello,

Just want to post a link to an interesting article. It is about a potential new technique to physically unclog meibomian glands.

Anyone heard of that ?
