Meibomian seborrhea treatment

I am having burning sensation in eye (one eye only) for the past 5 months & it worsens when watching computer/TV particularly in high temperature rooms (due to hot climate) & went to several ophthalmologist for a cure,some told me its due to over secretion of meibomian oil,probably due to dandruff & as a treatment gave topical antibiotic+corticosteroids to apply it on lid margins for 10 days.but the problem is not clearing up.

I am using anti dandruff shampoo's regularly for clearing up dandruff problems,but still burning sensation exists (one eye only)

Is there any alternative or home treatment for Meibomian seborrhea other than corticosteroids ?

This is a type of blepharitis called MGD Meibomian gland disease. One does not CURE it one CONTROLS it. It is a chronic problem.

You may need to go on oral tetracycline, minocycline or dioxycycline for 2-3 months.

Discsss using Azasite at bedtime for 2 weeks with your Eye MD. It currently is the antiboictic drop of choice.
