Hi all

a few years ago i got told that i had blepharitis from an eye doctor however i do not have a lot of the symptoms a lot of people have when they have this condition. The only thing that seems to bother me is the noticeable redness/swelling under my eyes.

What I have actually noticed about my eyes is a long the line where the tear ducts are they seem um i dont know how to describe maybe like waxy? I seem to produce a lot mucus in the corners of my eyes after hours which is like a stringy clear consistency as oppose to dry. Is this signs of MGD?

Could this be a result of whats causing my under eyes to look sore and red? Because sometimes when i wash my under eyes with lukewarm water they look slightly better than what they looked like when they looked somewhat oily, however this lasts for about 4-5 hours before they go back to oily/sore looking again.

I am wondering if anyone has has a similar problem and what i could do to tackle this? Is there anything without using concealer (which i have not done yet by the way) that people have had success to eliminate the swelling under eyes?

Thank you
