Meibomian gland dysfunction

Meibomian gland dysfunction

Has anyone been diagnosed with this?    I have posted here before - my dr. said I have eczema on my lids and I have reluctantly been using hydrocorticone 2% when symptoms are extreme.   But I also get extremely dry eyes along with the swelling, itching, red lids with the extreme wrinkles.   It comes and goes and comes and goes.  In the meantime I look like I'm prematurely 80 yrs old.

I recently looked up this disorder - Meibomian gland dysfunction, which matches alot of my symptoms.  I am going to start with the home remedies for this and see what happens.

Use the search feature and archives and read about the treatment of "blepharitis" it is essentially the same.
