Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I had Lasik in the beginning of last year. I have a dandruff issue with my hair. After a few months of surgery, occasionally I had eye itching. When I visited my doctor, he said that it is due to dandruff and asked to clean eyelid with baby shampoo. After cleaning, I used to feel relieved for some days. But today, even after cleaning, I am feeling itchy. When closely examined, I see three small wounds on my eyelid. I have shown that in white circles in the attached image. Are those due to heat? How to cure it?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
These are normal meibomian gland duct openings in the border of the lower eyelid. They are abnormally protruded and this is known as meibomitis. You should continue shampoo wash. In addition, do warm compresses and use lubricant eye drops three to four times in a day.
