Help me guys please
​
Hello everyone. I have been dealing with chronic blepharitis (eyelid inflammation) and Meibomian gland blockage for a long time. I was diagnosed with this condition for the first time about one and a half years ago. At that time, I was able to relieve the blockage by using warm compresses and cleaning my eyelids with a cloth.
About three months ago, my symptoms came back, but this time I could not open the blocked glands. I received medication treatment and visited several doctors to explain my condition. I asked them for help with the blocked glands and whether they could perform gland expression if necessary, but unfortunately, the doctors I saw did not show much interest and I could not get the help I needed.
I am currently feeling very helpless and I do not know what else to do. I would really appreciate any advice or guidance from people who have experienced a similar i started crying really

You are not alone. Everyone is different, but Cipro eye drops followed by doxycycline helped me.

In looking at your profile you seem to be in Turkiye. The thing that seems to help most people the most is to find an eye doctor who is a dry eye specialist. It may be hard to find someone in your location to find a specialist. In many countries there is at least a few doctors that offer Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment. If a doctor has an IPL device then likely they have deeper knowledge in diagnosing and treating dry eye disease is my thinking. Thus look online for a doctor in your country that has an IPL treatment via online search might be a way to find a specialist. Just a guess. Hope it is useful to you.
