Hot Compress

Posterior Blepharitis (Meibomian Gland Dysfunction) is defined as inflammation of your eyelids affecting the meibomian glands. It blocks your meibomian glands which produces the oil layer of your tear film.

Heat from the hot compresses open up the meibomian (oil) glands to improve oil flow into the eye, stabilise the tear film and slow down tear evaporation.
