Megomeiatus
Dr. Vaibhav Mittal Sir I have megomeiatus. Sir thank you so much for suggestion. Sir do I need to apply warm compress followed by eye lid wash by baby shampoo daily? How many days I need to continue this? And will this solve my dry eyes problm completely? Plz
Hello
A. As I mentioned earlier.. Warm compresses followed by lid massage should be done daily... Lid scrubbing with baby shampoo can be done once weekly
B. Once the meibomitis is treated then you can stop warm compresses but lid massage can be done through out life to prevent Recurrence... It is just a way to keep lids clean like we brush to keep teeth clean
C. I am sorry but there is no permanent treatment for dryness.
There are two types of dry eyes... Most common being evaporative dry eyes...
There are many causes for evaporative dry eye... Meibomitis is just one factor... With this We will be able to control one major factor
We will need to exercise other precautions and medicines will also be required
