Good Stuff
I was recently informed by an ophthalmologist that I have MGD. (The little oil glands in my eyes are pumping out inferior product.) One initial stye, way more many hot compresses than I should have done, I don't even know how many styes after that, three antibiotics, and the entire five stages of grief later... He finally suggested Avenova or this OTC product. I chose this one and I am SO GLAD that I did! By the time I got my hands on this product, I only had one smaller stye on one eye and a swollen upper lid on my other eye which was the beginning of a chalazion. Within one day, the smaller stye burst and the upper lid had become more localized swelling where the infection was instead of the whole lid. I've been using this sort of like you would bactine on a cut. Other than the already stated cleansing directions, I held a CLEAN q-tip to the nozzle spray and dabbed where the stye burst as well as the meibomian gland area where the chalazion is. This prevented my usual pattern of oozing when they broke and it healed up fast. It's been two days and the chalazion continues to shrink. Since I am also hesitant to do expressions after hot compresses, I've found that the q-tip method over my meibomian glands gets rid of the sort of visible meibomian glands... If that makes any sense. This cleanser (along with not overdoing it on the hot compresses) is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone with similar problems.
