Eyelid scrub for tear glands LASIK
I have done LASIK surgery for my eyes before 7 years. Now there is some bacterial Infection that has blocked my tear glands. Doctor has prescribed hot towel fomentation and an antibiotic course. He said since I have done LASIK, he is recommending antibiotic instead of eyelid scrub. I'm little concerned about using antibiotic (doxycycline) for one month. Is it fine to do eyelid scrub after LASIK? Thanks!

If the diagnosis is meibomian adenitis you may do warm compresses instead of scrubbing as that would loosen up the clogged material gradually. There are eye pads available for the purpose that can be warmed in a microwave oven and then applied as per the manufacturer's
instructions.
For simple cleansing Citremide Cleanser Foam available from Zydus Cadilla may be used. It requires only mild rubbing and wiping off only.
