Eye irritation
I had lasik in 2016 december. Currently I have -0.5 in both eyes. These days I am having lot of irritation on upper eyelids and sometimes I feel something inside the eye. Doctor told me I have meibomitis. I am also having pain on eyebrows and sometimes one side headache. I don't feel need of wearing glasses as I can see clearly. How can I resolve this because I have been doing warm compresses, applying antibiotic ointment at night but still I don't see any change
