Reply to "Blocked oil ducts on eyelids"

Jan DollarModerator, RN, retired

Yes, I had this, along with dry eye syndrome. Warm moist compresses help a lot. I don’t know about tea-bags though. What helped the most were those micro-beads you warm in the microwave. You need to be careful not to over heat them though. Other compresses just cooled down too fast. Once my eyelids were well warmed, I would massage them until I could express the clogged ducts. I also have duct plugs and use Restasis.

Here’s a link to the mask I used. https://smile.amazon.com/Therm...Beye%2Bmask&th=1

Now, I maintain just using an eyelid wash in the shower, Occusoft. https://smile.amazon.com/Ocuso...ds=ocusoft+lid+scrub

I haven’t had a recurrance of the infections for over a year.
