If you do this it will go away after about a week. Then to make sure you don't get it again I use a warm wet compress every single day for about 1 minute. I have not had one in quite a while now. You don't need a retinal doctor for this. Any eye doctor should know about this. I use Dr. Gooch and Dr. Ireland at St. Lukes. I did use Jodie Armstrong in the past with Ocala and she is good too.
I hope this helps you.

Apples and oranges. You have given a very good explanation for the treatment of Meibomianitis, an INFECTION of the Meibomian glands. I think the OP was referring to keratoconjunctivitis sicca or Meibomian gland dysfunction, aka dry eyes. The person with autoimmune etiology to his dry eyes was probably referring to Sjogren's syndrome. Sometimes it gets complicated.
