Comprendiendo Gland Expression
Heating the glands is only half the battle; the liquefied oil must be cleared out. Therapeutic Meibomian Gland Expression involves the doctor using specialized forceps or paddles to gently squeeze the glands of the upper and lower eyelids. This clears out "toothpaste-like" blockages and allows healthy, clear oil to begin flowing again.
