Meibomian glands blepharitis, is there any cure or tips please!!!

I also think that alcohol-coffee makes it worse. Also tried ALL antibiotics and nothing helped me!

Can I put something on my eyelids so that those little white bumps go away?

What I can not understand is that my eye-doctor and dermatologist can't help any off us!!!

We think it's a yeast problem...maybe we should all go on a diet, because I don't know what to do anymore...if anyone can help...that would be great!

I have only recently been diagnosed but have already tried lots of things. The only one different from you is an allergy tablet. It sometimes feels as if the condition is triggered by an allergy. I don't know what! I often get really bad when I have been in a supermarket for a while so who knows??!!

Hello, my sympathies its a really annoying condition.

I was diagnosed about seven months ago after nearly two years of ocular issues and like you am still working my way through to find out what helps/what doesn't. Manuka honey has helped me as do hot compresses. I think I have an allergy to tea tree oil so thats a no no for me but in fact I have blocked glands not mites or crusty lashes so I don't need the tea tree oil so much.

In my case my condition is clearly related to eyelid eczema which was the first symptom I had. I can semi tolerate contact lenses but eye make up continues to be a big no no.  Sometimes I seem to get the condition under control and then when I try to wear (the most gentle) eye make I get a flare up. You don't mention if eczema is a factor in your case so what I am going to say may not be very relevant but in case it is I'll continue

Anyhow I have just started to see a very respected acupuncturist who has  successfully helped a friend and his son who both suffer from allergies. I have just had my first session and he said he was very optimistic he could solve the problem. He felt very strongly that in my case the eyelid eczema was the source of the blepharitis and so that was what needed to be addressed.  Apparently I will need four/five sessions (I have had just one so far) and also need to follow two months of chinese medicine. He also said I had to use exclusively bio eye make up and that this would make a big difference .

After my first session I have definitely seen an improvement. Right now I have no symptoms, no itching and no need to use the hot compress (before I was using it twice a day). So certainly this is progress. 

In all honesty I am not sure how I feel about acupuncture and for sure it is a big investment both financially and in terms of time. However I am so fed up with too much of my attention being given to this condition and as this man is supposed to be really good I am willing to try.

I will only really believe this is sorted once I can successfully go back to wearing contacts (I can tolerate them reasonably well) AND (bio) eye make (this is much more challenging for me) and still be symptom free for several months.

Anyway, its a slightly unusual approach but I share it with you in case you think it might help. BTW I live in France and the acupuncturist I am visiting is in Paris in case thats of any interest.
