@doctoreyehealth: Have you ever heard of this? 🤔 This video from @bettervision shows Miebomian Gland Expression, a technique where the eyelids are squeezed and the thickened oils are expressed from the oil glands in the upper eyelid. The Miebomian gland is an oil gland within the eyelids and functions to secrete oils to help stabilize the tear film and prevent it from evaporating.

Just use a warm eye compress. It's relaxing and melts the oils to get the glands flowing.

It helps to wash eyes with baby wash. Flax seed taken daily helps.
