Lots of white foam or mucus discharge in the canthi (corners) of both eyes - MGD
Hello DEZ members
New to this forum. The fundamental problem I have is.... I get a considerable amount of white foam/froth or mucus in the canthi (corners) of both eyes non stop throughout the day - photos below:
Hi Cissou, I had the probing done in Europe. I'd had IPL 4-5 times prior to the probing and had mixed results perhaps as I was blocked and it was just heating the oils underneath the skin (I was not expressed properly after either). It did reduce the visibility of the blood vessels on my lid line (which...
Hi, I've had MGD dry eyes for so long now. Started when i was around 24, and am now 62. Tested negative for Sjorgrens. The only think i can find it that i used Retin-A for about a year before the dryness started and it never went away. I had the lower ducts closed permanently and tried restasis and...

Hi. Parts of your story seem similar to mine. I have had MGD / ocular rosacea / dry eyes since my 13, and am 39 now. Also some of my glands disappeared and some are really squiggly.
Did you ever try doxycycline in your life (for a longer period of time)? It tackles inflammation, bacterial...
Hi. I'm a 39 year old male from Netherlands and suffering from MGD.
I am looking for some advice based on my story, as I understand that treating dry eye/MGD/etc. is very personal and may require different strategy/trial & error for each individual
I am a 40 year old female. I have MGD and occular rosacea and developed obvious blepharitis two years ago - eyelids (especially right one) are looking puffy, eyelashes are thinned and brittle. Cold compresses are somewhat helpful. I tried IPL without and with expression, Lipiflow...
I have had MGD for 25 years, since the age of 22. If it was caused by mites (a different type of mite than dust mites - is it called Demodex mites?), would my ophthalmologist (who is a dry eye expert) have diagnosed this already? I am considering using tea tree oil foam wash and/or wipes, which I understand...
Hi all. I've had the condition for around 4-6 years now. It all started when I noticed a little bubble in the white of my eyes, I went straight to my eye doc freaked out and he told me it was due to dryness. I did some refresh drops and warm compresses to resolve that and have ramped up my management...
Hi all, I have had mgd for a while now (8 years?)...when the doc expresses my glands absolutely nothing comes out! I really can't wear my contacts too much anymore and just try to stick to glasses except when I want to swim, scuba, snorkel. For a long time I have considered PRK but not sure how my eyes...
