Omega 3 fatty acids: Many studies suggest omega 3s can help with Meibomian gland dysfunction and dry eye symptoms in general. However, there are also studies that show no benefit. Despite the mix of study results, many dry eye specialists do recommend improving the diet and omega 3 supplements for dry eye and overall eye health (good for the retina as well).

Note: Dry eye syndrome can be complicated by other forms of ocular surface disease and it is always best to consult with your local eye care professional if you are experiencing any eye pain or vision changes.

About this video: So what is meibomian gland dysfunction? In this video I share different strategies for mgd eye treatment that are often recommended for people struggling with evaporative dry eye. If you are looking for mgd treatment at home or looking into other medical treatments for dry eye, then this video may help you. If you are struggling with severe meibomian gland disease then it is important to follow up with a specialist in either optometry or ophthalmology that is trained in dry eye syndrome management.

Can you make a video specifically about eyelid swelling and inflammation? Causes and treatments, thanks

[BodyEpiphanies]

You delivery of actionable content is impressive comrade!

[mcm]

I would love to hear about eye eczema thank you x

[staceyneitz]

I am impressed with your answer. One thing that could be mentioned if time permitted is people with Blepharitis should be sure to change their pillowcases lots and do not share face cloths or makeup as it is transmittable. How due you feel about Claridex and tea tree treatments?

[KaranRajput-gwim]

Please tell us any new or best treatment for macular degeneration and stargardts syndrome

[KenziBabenzi]

This is fascinating I've never seen an eyelid brush! Wow. 😮

[Aneenavarghese.]

Can u please say treatment for macular dystrophy ..I'm 20yrs now

[mustardseed]

I've had permanently pink or red eyes that feel as though they're warm or hot at times. No burn. No itch. No pain. Plenty of eye drops and no relief. Please please help. The ophthalmologist appointment the other day said clean the water line with baby shampoo and take eye drops 4 X day and an eye jelly at night 👀 please help

[DeAnneLynne]

Do you offer Meibomian Gland probing at your clinic?

[MatthewFling]

I just IPL and MGD expression done for the first time and it’s like a weight of fatigue has been lifted off my eyes.

[EastSide-qcoy]

Wait there’s a compress that allows you to see while using it?

[kjp]

Can you pllleeeeaasssseee do a video on why my eyelashes keep contracting/twitching. It's been going on for months and I can't hold eye contact with people. Currently trying to treat mixed dried eyes with your previous video's suggested drops.

[filmic]

I've been washing my eyelids with baby shampoo, but also, just started 'diluting' a drop of T-Tree oil in warm water and quickly massaging my closed eye lids.

[rainstarr]

I don't have this but I do always get white gunky stuff in my eye and goes to my inner corners (like goopy "eye booger"). I talked to an eye doctor and she said it's because my eyes are dry. Basically blew me off. Any ideas? The substance feels tacky. It usually is in the lower part of my inner lid and stretches to when I use a wet Q-tip to get it out.

[leonina]

Can you share the brand of the eyelids brush🙏

[babakaryansk]

Asking about a 96 year old female who has what she calls milia in her eyes. Is there anything to help with these little balls of stuff in her eyes. Accordingly there seems to be no cure. What can you recommend? Please help as you seem very knowledgeable.

[jsipad]

Any other home care tips besides hygiene, fish oil and warm compresses?

[kaliebyrd]

My opth said that my eye oil glands have died (only about half) is it possible to get them back at all?

[stephaniecolmenares]

Thank you. I saw one of your other videos about that tool thah looks like a toothbrush which I am planning on using. It’s a shame that depending on where you go to, they will put fear on you to use the “best” treatment that you can’t afford; as if it’s the only thing that can help you.
