Best treatment at present is warm compresses. Post lockdown need to get spectacle prescription checked. Also need evaluation for diabetes and dandruff of the eye lashes.

Warm compresses 10min at a time at least 2 times per day. More is better. If any increase in pain/swelling or pain on eye movement then will need to conduct an online consultation prior to medication dispensation.
