Having a very severe case of dry eyes, and completely plugged Meibomian glands, I really expected it to help. To date, I would not say that really great things happened, although my local eye doctor said that the glands looked "different" than they did prior to the procedure. There is a measurement that they take prior that actually measures the thickness of your oily tear layer, and I am supposed to go back at 6 wks to do a recheck and they will measure this again. In theory, it should be a lot thicker. I'll let you know how it goes. The numbers can't lie. I think that I agree with the comment that dry eyes, especially severe cases, are very complex, and one modality of treatment is not all that is needed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-50965180854863914.post-31910811728806199792011-11-03T08:37:34.835-07:002011-11-03T08:37:34.835-07:00Completely agree.
