Had specialist checks and they said my Meiboman glands seem ok , so the benefit of Lipiflow would not be significant enough to warrant the cost

I used to have Meibomian gland expression done when I lied in Boston by Dr. Greiner. I haven't found a dr. in Madisno that relied on it as much as he does - in fact, non of my drs in Madison really do it. I have a problem gland, that my dr. will sometimes unclog iva expression, but that's it. not sure if think it would help if they did it, but it's been more than 10 years since someone has...and then I have tried to do it myself, since noone here is going it and I know that can't be good for my eyes, but some days I would do anything for relief, even knowing it could cause more extensive damage in the long run.
