I have been dealing with MGD for a few years now and seen multiple ophthalmologists. After discovering this channel and the level of information you have offered in these videos, I cannot understand why none of the doctors I have seen over the years have not gone over the risks of compresses and importance of correctly using them, among all the other things. I can’t even explain how lost I have felt trying to manage this condition, it affects every aspect of life and I just get blown off, told to wash and compress.

I purchased a warm eye compress recently. I heat it for 15-20 seconds, apply it for about 15 minutes & my eyes are watering. This is a great video

[imahaingtia]

work with my eye doctor… lol If my eye doctor was interested in helping me treat my chronic dry eyes, I wouldn’t need you! Thank god for youtube and doctors like you.

[annstar]

Super helpful. Wow- my eye doctor didn’t tell me any of this, and it seems crucial to do this right and not cause damage!!

[woodbark]

Thank you Doc . . that certainly cleared up a few questions about Temperatures, Duration and Frequency Cheers!

[delilahboa]

Love your channel, you explain things so well, I’m really learning a lot, thanks so much x

[onzjmtz]

Absolutely brilliant. I’ve had MGD for sometime. I’ve picked up so much useful information from your videos. Will be changing how I use my heated mask and eyelid massage. Thank you

[DanielHoutkin-rcnm]

Anyone listening to this video while doing the warm compress?

[trishestes]

Blessi gs to you for sharing your knowlwdge.

[KathyBrooksArt]

So descriptive and useful. Some things my eye doctor didn't go over. Thanks!!

[PhishedOff]

I wish I had seen this before. I saw the one on massage because I have been massaging after heating up my eyes with rice sock and I damp washcloth underneath. That explains why some days my vision is better than others. You’re the only one who has explained how to do both things separately that I have found. Thank you for your videos and you seem very friendly so it’s comfortable to watch like you’re not stuffy! 😂 I like your three suggestions and there’s three different products that are safer because she can regulate the temperature better so I’m gonna order one of those. Thank you for that.!

[janetmurphy]

Thank you very much. More information from you than any doctor / optomotrist i have seen.

[angiekitson-harris]

Hi again, brilliant information as always.
Can you please explain blepharitis, what is it exactly? Bless you for all this wonderful and helpful info.

[mischka]

I am so glad I found you ! My right eye pours with water every day, and doesn’t stop until at least lunchtime, sometimes later. Now I’ve just had a cream coloured lump come up on my lower lid. Optician says it’s a blocked gland. Thanks for your excellent info!!

[mapdsp]

Great info brother! The added expressions are made me laugh 😂

[kayhorton]

I bought a Bruder mask and love it!! It is so relaxing and does help.

[zahidagani]

Hi... greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦..i just came across your video..will definitely try this..having dry eyes lately

[cathyhannahperez]

Thx for the tips! I’m all for a mask that allows my eyes to stay open!!

[akashvyas]

i had been doing warm eye compresses lying down and i didnt know that it could reshape my cornea but it makes a lot of sense

[OutandaboutWalking]

Thanks for another great & informative video Dr Eye Guy. Oh, btw your eyes are looking very refreshed & good lately!
