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

Hi
One of the side effects of LASIK is dryness in the eyes.You should use lubricants for some time after surgery.Whenever you have more work on laptop or increased screen time,it leads to more irritation because of constant exposure to bright light.Frequent blinking and washing eyes intermittently and usage of Lubricants will help you reduce the strain.But for infection you must use proper medication for full course is mandatory.
