How to deal with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction / Disease - MGD

Hello All!
This video is an explanation on how to deal and get through the problems of MGD.
How to deal with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction / Disease - MGD
I had a request on this particular topic so I wanted to share my story.

If you feel like you are dealing with severe dry eyes and have not found a way to help that stop - GO SEE AN EYE DOCTOR!
There are special prescribed eyedrops that can help short term with itchy dry eyes but the real solution is eye exercising!

Squeezing the glands help produce eye secretion that is needed for your eyes to be hydrated and healthy. Blinking (not regular blinking but in depth blinking) is what produces the clear film that protects and moisturizes the eyes.

HERE ARE SOME VIDEOS THAT HELPED ME LEARN MORE ABOUT MGD.

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING! HAPPY BLINKING!

There’s eye exercises!? What the…I’ve seen several ophthalmologists and none have ever said a word! I’m glad you made this! Thanks a million!

[glaucialolli]

Very well explained!!! No doctor ever told me that!!! Thank you!

I too was told by the eye doctor not to put eyeliner inside the eye, as it will block the glands.

I was doing the exercises wrong! Thanks for showing how to do them properly!

Interesting demonstration of eye exercises. It should be noted that putting eye liner makeup behind your lower eye lashes on the eye lid margin is not recommended and is one of the causes of MGD. In many cases make up is toxic to the meibomian tear glands which open just behind the eye lashes causing damage and blockage to the glands, and dry eyes in the long run. Same for upper eye lid, only on the skin in front of the lashes.

Thank you so much for posting this. I have severe dry eye/belpharitis and it's the worst for me at night. I just found this video (thanks Olga) and can feel the moisture from this exercise. I will come back and comment in a couple of week with my progress. Thanks again!

I have severe MGD...totally feel like it has ruined the last 5 years of my life. Can’t wear makeup, in constant pain. Thx for this video...it made me laugh 😆

Thank you! I have MGD and ocular rosacea and also and have had 3 IPL treatments. I do the warm compresses and drops also. But adding these exercises sounds like a great idea. It makes perfect sense and I read that people who work on computers all day (like me) actually blink less. So I'm definitely going to practice this technique.

I have been squeezing gunk pus out of my eye lids for a few years, I'm probably going to get an eye infection, you have great info

This was wonderful, very engaging and entertaining not compromising on the seriousness of the Meiobian Gland Disorder. Especially straightforward for teenagers. Massive thank you. Coul you do more exercises as you are perfect at them. Thank you!!!

Thanks for making me smile. I’ve never watched you before. You made me laugh & I also have dry eyes & that’s why I watched this! Mine produce too many tears 😭 it’s a pain to deal with because it’s CONSTANTLY messing up my makeup & im 58 so it’s only adding wrinkles under my eyes because I’m always wiping underneath them. People think I’m crying which is also a pain! Anyway, thanks for making me smile.

I’m loving this content. I have MGD as well. I’ve got a few decades on you and my glands are plugged up. So I’m having lipiflow in a few weeks. I may try some warm compresses with these exercises in the meantime. I appreciate the lash extension video as well because I’m struggling to adjust my makeup situation with having to do drops and ointments in my eyes at night. Anyway, thanks again and keep it up.

Thank you. I am going to try this from now on every day. You are so beautiful by the way. ❤

[oppothumbs]

Most say just to blink not squeeze but glad you gave me an alternative so I will try these out.

[michellewyrick]

I read on another forum to wear a eyemask to sleep to prevent evaporation keep lids closed. Wear that sunglasses as well when you out!
