Swollen Eyelids and Dry Eyes

2023-03-26 09:49:54
I have Dry eye syndrome in both eyes . MGD where the glands are blocked. I have been prescribed with gel and drop lubricant along with single use drops ontears. Warm compresses are recommended as well . Problem is when I do warm compresses, my eyelids swell to double and stay irritated, sometimes cause redness in eyes too. To  bring it down I use cold compresses which gives me some relief. But inflammation triggers with warm compresses. Can I use cold instead of hot compresses?
