I came to this BLOG over 2 years ago. I want to thank all of you for posting and sharing. It let me know I wasn't alone. So many of you are so positive and helped keep me sane. I spent many nights reading on here for some light at the end of my dark tunnel. I suffered a living hell! If I could have...

The last two nights I've put in a tiny bit of (over the counter) eye ointment in my eyes before bed, and it really helped. My eyes don't feel painfully dry when I wake up. But I'm worried that the ointment could eventually make my MGD worse buy "clogging" the glands?

Has anyone's...

Good Day Everyone

I've recently been posting about my practices experience with Evaporative Dry Eye/Meibomain gland dysfunction and use of the LipiFlow system, and I have received multiple questions.

I'm going to post two large posts that should provide most answers...

1. Do you use drops that contain oil or not?
2. Which drop do you use regularly?

I'm curious because my doc said that those with MGD should use a drop containing oil since we generally have a poor lipid layer. I sometimes think though that these drops (Retaine MGD or Refresh...

I have had undiagnosed MGD since 1998 and I'm only 49. In the meantime, I had tried everything, thinking it was solely dry eye. You name it, I've tried it. I've gone to the US (I live in Canada). It's only in my right eye and my lid is now swollen and unsightly. There is an obvious difference in...

I found a really fantastic doctor this Thursday - hope restored. My physician said my eyes were "salty." She said there was "no oil." She drew pictures of my eyes and then put a bunch of small dots all over the corneas with her ball point pen, saying they looked "pitted."...

Update and background - I've been suffering with dry eye (meibomian gland dysfunction) for almost 2 years and am finally getting back to work! I have seen a vast improvement since I started treating my anaemia. I would say I am 80% better than I was 2 years ago. Although I still have 'bad' days and...

Hi,

My name is Jelena Ristic and I'm former dry eye patient because my dry eyes as well as some Chalazia have been cured with MGP (Meibomian Gland Probing /******g Probe) alone. I managed to have all my glands unblocked and have them remain unblocked (almost a year now) and also have...

What is difference between blepharitis and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction and Dry eye?? How do you know if you have blep or MGD? I was told I have dry eye, and put on Restasis (on day 2 of it) and just want to know if I have any other issues...my doc just did a simple test, said I don't have a lot of tears...

About me: 27 years old female with white sensitive skin. I have seborrheic dermatitis and maybe rosacea (doctors cannot decide on that one as the symptoms on my face are really mild). After Lasik, I got left with blepharitis and persistently dry eyes. I should also mention meibomian gland disorder with...
