Being able to do warm compresses combined with eyelid massages can be very helpful at treating a lot of eye conditions. Eyelid Massage (meibomian gland expression) helps treatment with dry eyes, meibomian gland dysfunction (mgd), blepharitis, and can help get rid of an eyelid stye. You want to make sure you that you do it safely. Too much pressure on the eyelids and eyeballs after warm compress can potentially cause problems down the road. It may cause warpage to the cornea and lead to keratoconus, or the increase pressure can raise the eye pressure and damage the optic nerve, leading to glaucoma. Knowing how to massage your eyelid is very importance. Dr. Guymon goes over his favorite was of eyelid massage.

How has eyelid massages worked out for you? Be sure to check out the warm compress video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIPGe6p-eZakq5Y

[@bmtcdc]

I just started doing eyelid massage about 3 days ago , being a sufferer of extreme dry eye and I really felt the difference , literally . My question is had been doing it way too often and too many times a day since Friday (3 days ago) and now I am worried about what might happen in terms of possible damage to the nerves and if it had raised my eye pressure even more. Here in Scandinavia I was told my pressure 21 / 25. Should I make an appointment to get checked?

[@DrEyeGuy]

@@bmtcdc Good question. Usually when doing the eyelids massage, it will just temporarily increase the pressure when you are physically pressing on the eyelid, it should keep your pressure high. That being said, your pressure are on the higher side, and should be watched by your eye doctor.... but people can have pressure like that and still be fine.

[@asmodeos666]

@@bmtcdc hey, just to share my experience with you: I got checked 2 months ago and had 22/24. My eye doc put me under daily treatment to lower the pressure. I had no damage to my optic nerves but she said better safe than sorry and I really needed to protect my nerves from that pressure. I put one drop every morning and the treatment contains beta blockers. So I think it's better if you get checked as similar pressure for me resulted in taking a treatment.

Your eyelid massage video, disease explanation, causes/treatments are all very helpful.

I have MGD. I was using a heat mask and messaging my glands like I was shown from the doctor, so I was doing it correctly. I did it for over a year. Doing this caused vitreous detachment. Now, I have a bunch of see-through floaters causing cloudy / foggy vision that I'm stuck with. If I would've known this was going to happen, I wouldn't have done it. It didn't even help with the oils, and it just caused more harm than good. It's not worth the risk, especially when it doesn't even work.

@@DrEyeGuy I use weekly not daily the Systane eye wipes prescribed by an ophthalmologist and it cures my itchy red eyes right away. So I suppose my red eyes were caused by bacteria accumulation on my eye lid. I had tried all sorts of drops and soaps. I don't like Systane drops, and others at the pharmacy, they left a sticky feeling. I use Vogel drops, natural health store, when my inner eye feels dry, during the night for a reason I ignore. And castor oil once a week (is a little sticky but hydrating as well). Hope this helps. I will try your eye massage. I have early cataracts, am 50, caused by regular use of Benadryl for allergies. I had approbation from my Doctor but, long term use is really damaging for the eyes. Thank you.

Thank you so much, very informative and clear! I was diagnosed with MGD. One (albeit weird) question: sometimes if I look in the mirror while blinking I can see a flow of an oily substance moving vertically over my cornea. Could that be the meibum? It flushes very fast then starts to dissolve quickly. Should you be able to see that or that is a sign of the dysfunction?

[@DrEyeGuy]

That's an interesting question. When I look at people's eyes with the slit lamp microscope, you can see the oil tear layer spreading over the surface of the eye... not sure if I could say it would be easily noticeable with the slit lamp. It could be a sign that your meibum is thick possible?

Ever since covid I have been getting sty’s , chalazions and eye Infections when I have never had any in my life before. Right now I sm dealing with a sty that will not go away. However , I haven’t had time to put a warm compress 3-4 times a day for 10 min each then massage. I work 10.5 hours a day and I have an hour to drive to work then hour home then I have my pets and family to tend to . On my days off I have been applying the warm compress but I was doing it 5 min ( per drs instructions ) but she never told me to massage the eye. I was given a antibiotic ointment to put on eyelid . It did clear the red eye up nicely but I am left with a very small sty still. I have just started the warm compress for 10 min and I’m trying to do it before work and after work and on my days off do it 4 times a day with the massage and the eye ointment. My sty has def been on my eye for a month now. I’m so over it. I rarely wear contacts ( I had no worn contacts for months when I got the sty so it wasn’t from that and I do not wear eye makeup . I almost wonder if it’s from my moisturizer or sunscreen that my dermatologist told me I could put on my eyelids. I started doing that around when covid started and with all this mask wearing at wirk I’m wondering if it’s from the mask that does sometimes ride up on my eyes or if it’s from putting moisturizer or sunblock on eyelids. I stopped that so if after this sty is gone akd I get another one I’m going to assume it’s from my masks I wear at work

The blink squeeze works quite well but I need to really concentrate on the eye lids squeezing and not so much my eye ball feeling pressure. If I mimic a yawn it helps I feel it causes your eyelids to tense and relax like the blinking exercise. I did four sessions of IPL and it helped a bit but not as much as I hoped. Fish oil messes with my cholesterol levels too much and didn’t do much else. Blue light glasses for screen work are helpful.

Best/creative demo - surely with great results, thanks a lot. Great that you warn about risks - important. Probing: do you do it? Can you make a video, for example, side effects, benefits etc. Thank you.

[@DrEyeGuy]

Yes I do do it. I mention side effects, benefits, and potential problems in this video, was there something more specific that you are looking for?

[@eaglec.8865]

@@DrEyeGuy Do you mind providing the link for the video, can't find it. Keen to know the best candidates for probing.

[@DrEyeGuy]

Sorry, I was talking this Eyelid Massage video. I mention side effects and benefits in this Eyelid Massage video. Just wondering if you had something more specific I could make a video about?

Hi this is so useful. I’ve just had a really bad infected oil gland. The doc told me to steam my eyes four times a day for ten minutes over a bowl of boiled water. Then to massage for three minutes. Having seen your video just now I’ve been far too heavy handed. What is your view on steam?

Good info. I need captions for best understanding. Thanks.

I have dry eyes, MGD and blepharitis. I have learnt to do eyelid massage by this video. Can you please tell me if I should join swimming or not? Can it make my eyes worse?

[@robbideits6766]

I have Fuchs (10% of normal tear production) making my eyes ache nearly all of the time. My severe allergies have kept me from using eye drops until I found a super mild drop made in Dublin. With my heated eye mask and this technique combined with the HYLO drops, I rarely suffer. I was losing my quality of life before I learned these things. All that my eye doctor told me to do was wipe my eyes with a hot cloth. That was utterly useless advice. Thanks so much for a clear, simple procedure.

[@pastda3]

I had cataract surgery a couple of months ago. Are hot compresses and eye massages safe to use/do after lens replacement?

[@jeydaness]

But the compresses get so warm, I have rosacea and normally my skin hates heat. My eyelids have even thinner skin than the average too so I’m always too scared to do this. Welp
