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?
@@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.
@@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.
I'd never heard of Chalazions until it happened to me. Been dealing with both eyes for 3 mos. now. Right eye is almost normal. Left eye has a ways to go. Lots of care needed by the individual if you want to recover from these. Didn't know about the massages. Thank you.
I have been dealing with chalazions and blepharitis for a little over a year now and your videos have been more informative than any doctors that I have seen. Thank you!!!!
i’ve been doing this for 5 days and it has gotten smaller. currently putting tobradex on it as well as prescribed by my doctor. will update. hopefully this goes away soon.
This was so great. I watched the warm compress one first. So much information that my eye doctor didn't explain (and she was very explanatory too) so much I didn't know. Thanks so much!
I have been dealing with this problem since June, 3 doctors later, and just the other day correctly diagnosed with MGD. Can't believe how much I've learned today from your videos and how much my doctors didn't tell me or didn't know. Your eyelid massage video, disease explanation, causes/treatments are all very helpful. I haven't been able to wear contacts comfortably for over 2 years now and I suspect, this problem stems from the lack of appropriate oil in my eyes - it just makes sense now. Thank you.
This comment just made my day... thank you so much for saying this. Comments like these give me the motivation to keep making these video. I'll keep trying my best with these videos to help as many people as possible. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I thought it was just a normal stye but I did the message I felt the bump get smaller! Must have been oil gland like you mentioned! Feels so much better !
Hii, I'm having multiple chalazion in my both eyes I have changed many doctor even went to homeopathic solution but there's no result I'm very scared if surgery is the only option left if you are reading this I really hope you to please give me some useful tips.

Hi this is so helpful. I’m just getting over a severe style/infected oil gland - and I was told to steam my eyes four times a day followed by massage. Ive been doing it far too hard I now realise. Really rubbing my lid downwards. Hope v much no permanent damage for past five days heavy handed massage.
Hello, what is the different between Heyedrate Lid and Lash Cleanser and Ocusoft Hypochlorous Acid Solution? It seems they both clean the lids and lash?
Thank you very much for such an informative video. I had no idea how to do a baggage of the eyelids. I am anxious to try out the procedure that you recommend.😊
I got ceratoconus in both eyes and also dry eye syndrome. i really respect your several warnings about being very very very careful and gentle to not damage the cornea. This is a serious warning that must not be ignored. My doctor did not explain to me how to do this procedure correctly. You know what you are talking about. Thank you so much.
I needed this. I had s nasty style right before the pandemic and stubbornly kept persisting despite ointment and drop. Starting have weird eye trouble ever since, dandruff on eye margin, dermatitis/rashes on eyelid and inner corner of eyelid. I think my glands has something to do with it and this will help a lot.
I’ve gone to three specialist and this is by far the best description for my MGD that is to the far side. I only wish Drs were more verbal about pressure on the eyes when treating. I’ll definitely be more careful in the future! Thank you 🙏🏻
@@zhugeliang3905 miebobien gland disease (disorder). Tear ducts are blocked from the natural oils made by the body or eyes. The oil hardens in the ducts so your eyes can’t produce tears, causing many problems and can lead to other issues/conditions. Btw, the oil in the glands harden more than one would think. You can’t just take a hot shower and it’s gone. That’s wishful thinking.
Thank you for the video. I was recently diagnosed with MGD. My doctor wanted me to "squeeze " my eyelids like a pimple to express the oil glands. It was painful when she did it in the office. And she wants me to use warm compress and massage three times a day! I searched online for advice and found this video.
Hello, I hope all is well. You mentioned that oil can get hard, thick, or stuck in the oil glands. Why does that happen to begin with? Can lack of sleep lead to that? I was only able to sleep 2-3 hours then ended up getting a bump inside my eyelid the next day. I thought maybe it could be a stye but it doesn’t have that white/yellow bump. It’s just red. But I assumed it was due to lack of sleep.
If you have corneal scarring be very careful w the Bruder mask. The heat really irritates the cornea. My Cornea Dr told me to do it daily but that was what contributed to the keratitis and steroids on and off for two years. Good job mentioning that Dr!! :)
Thank you so much for these videos. I left the eye doctor yesterday with my head swimming. I am one of those who has a weird thing with eyeballs, so eye massage freaks me out. Thank you for telling me about blinking. There is something to be said for keeping it simple, right? Anyway, thank you for taking the time to do these. I appreciate you.
Awesome video! I have preferred using a q tip wet with hypochlorous acid for a while now, and you’re the first person I’ve seen recommend that! Good to know it’s actually recommended by a doctor lol.
I have been doing these treatments daily for a few years, for my chronic dry eye problem, however I can now perfect my technique and feel sure it will be even more effective, thank you!
@@DrEyeGuy, indeed folks want straight to the point, this's what u got. Or else people skip the video bcz of this era they've became so impatient... G'luck ahead..
@@DrEyeGuy btw bro... I use cell phone alot, also reading a bit... often get eye strain and dry eyes. What do you prefer.?? Computer Glasses, artificial tears or gels, blue light blocking eyeglasses? Thanks😉
Hey doctor, I'm 22. 5 months ago I got a stye. And it was so painful with little burning sensation. It was a big stye in lower eyelid almost in the tear gland. And I got two more while coping with it on upper eyelid near lash line. Those were big too. My doctor gave me eyecream and eyedrop. I used it the pain got better so did the swelling but still they are present as painless little bump. I got one more it's not so big but I'm frustrated. My doctor said surgery needs to be done on the lower eyelid stye. But I'm afraid I gonna get styes again and again and I have to do surgeries again and again?
I have been diagnosed with MGD. The warm compress and eyelid massages help. Doctor has recommended an Intense Pulsed Light treatment which is not covered by insurance and is kind of expensive. So I’m trying to do the eyelid massage everyday.
I have a blepha eyebad that is warmed up in the microwave and has flaxseeds inside. I am worried about it pushing against the eyes. I am glad I found this video because no one explained to me about not pushing. I was being gentle but I am still nervous about massaging the eyelids even with a q-tip haha
How has eyelid massages worked out for you? Be sure to check out the warm compress video: ruclips.net/video/rRcJwHD1qu4/видео.html

Do you do these massages on yourself regularly, Dr. EyeGuy?
Good to know about the cornea. Apparently I’ve been doing this massage wrong for 3 years
Is lacrimal punctum plug even when you've had cataracts surgery ?
I sure appreciate this level of care and information!

Yes! Rolling the q-tip is the best. Game changer.
What if the chalazion is in the inner corner of the eye?
