Nothing comes out of my eyelids when I press them even though my glands are fine
Hi,
I've been having dry eyes for 4 years, and 4 months ago it got very worse after putting on contact lenses for two weeks straight (I know it was dumb), leading to a big inflammation.
Since then, the symptoms increased (blurry vision from time to time, pain when I stop using drops, teary eye when there is wind, and since two months, photophobia), whereas before it was only stinging my eyes a bit.
As well, before the event I was expressing my glands with my fingers and a waxy oil would come out, followed by lots of normal oil. Now, when I do that I only have a tiny bit of wax.
I did a meibography and it shows that my glands are exactly in the same state before and after the event, and they're fine.
What do you guys think of it ? Is there more chance that my glands will produce oil again or that they are just dying ?
