Probing to Treat Meibomian Gland Dysfunction

Posted By Patient Letter to the Editor On March 8, 2013 @ 2:46 am In Dry Eye,Patient Questions | Comments Disabled

I have meibomian gland dysfunction- at the moment my glands are completely obstructed despite warm compresses, oral tetracyclines, restasis and azasite.

My symptoms started one and a half years ago, and I have had the above treatment for one year.

I am interested in getting meibomian gland probing. However, due to finances and my current location, it won’t be possible for a few months.

Would you say I am at risk of gland atrophy, and should act urgently, or would it be alright to wait some months until getting the probing?
