A member asked:

Tenderness and minor pain in outer corner of my right eye when blinking, i heard it could be oil gland clogged? does it resolve on its own?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ophthalmology: this is best clarified by an ophthalmologist who is a medical eye doctor who treats I disease. You could try putting a warm wet washcloth on it for about 2-4 times a day for the next few days and see if that helps. This would be a way to treat a blocked gland.
