Dr Eyelid Pimple Popper (Dr Silani @beverlyhillsoptometry) to the rescue: 62 year old patient presents with chronic dry eye symptoms. She’s tried over-the-counter eye drops and pharmaceutical eye drops (ie Restasis) without relief. She was introduced to our advanced, dry eye center and drove 2 hours for our multiple step in-office approach to relieving the root cause of her dry eye symptoms
.
90% of patients with dry eye disease have MGD. Normal oil glands have a clear, olive oil-like expression, whereas our patient in the video has obstructive, yellow expression. This can lead to inflammation, styes, red eyes, infections and permanent damage to the Meibomian Glands
.
Our goal: to rehab her eyelid with IPL treatments followed immediately by manual expression with forceps. If we don’t see complete evacuation of the poor meibum by the 4th IPL session, we combine this technique with in-office thermal pulsation protocol (ie MiboFlo, Lipiflow, or iLux)❤️

Patient has suffered with dry eye disease, blepharitis, Demodex, ocular Rosacea, styes and loss of eyelashes. She’s seen multiple specialists and tried at-home therapies as well as pharmaceuticals. Her post-treatment reaction after watching these videos was extremely satisfying. The removal of the poor meibum after evacuating the MGs is important to gain a new baseline.

"You have dry eye disease." I swear I am diagnosing this condition more and more these days. But did you know that there are different types of dry eye? Over 70% of all dry eye disease is related to increased tear film evaporation.
We like to use state of the art technology in our office to analyze the health of the Meibomian Glands. ⭕Those are the oil glands lining the back of your eyelids and play a major role in eyelid health and preventing your tears from evaporating.
I myself struggle with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction or MGD. You can check out my eyelid scans by swiping the picture above ☝️But thankfully we have several treatment strategies and with new tools, we can catch the disease early.
Want to learn more about MGD and dry eye? ▶️Check out my new video on YouTube Link in Bio.
Keep an eye on it!
Seems like a good day to repost this. Yes those with us who have autoimmune diseases have tried pretty much everything you can think of so please don’t come at us like we are ignorant at what things are out there. We are PROFESSIONALS at what can and cannot help our condition. We spend most of our time/money exhausting options that disappoint us time and time again. We have been approached by many snake oil salespeople so yes we can be wary and defensive. Just give us validation that you don’t know how to fix it because we are not expecting you too. We are just asking to be seen. And yes I have tried yoga and no it didn’t heal me #sjogrenssyndrome #sjogrens #autoimmunedisease #haveyoutriedyoga #chronicillness #invisibleillness #siccasyndrome #spoons #spoonie #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #dryeyes #snakeoil

Dry Eye Evaluation & Eye Massage treatments for tech employees with computer eye strain and fatigue.

Whether you’re a professional in tech, finance, real estate, healthcare, media, or law, you’re inevitably staring at screens all day, everyday.
.
Remember the 20-20-20 rule, every 20 minutes, look away at 20 feet, foe 20 seconds. Also invest in a good humidifier and blue light blocking glasses.
.
Additionally, ask your eye care professional to run a dry eye screening or evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions that could be interfering with your productivity.
