Intraductal probing: Dry eye can be quantitative (deficiency of tear production) or qualitative (deficiency of the oily layer, and less commonly the mucin layer). Meibomian gland disease exacerbates dry eye syndrome by disturbing the surfactant properties of the oily layer. Intraductal probing opens up the meibomian gland orifices. Punctal plugging can help preserve the tears you do make, and Restasis might help.

BabyShampooLidscrubs: This syndrome is one of the most common causes of blurry vision in the USA. The easiest and least expensive solution to this is to suds baby shampoo in a warm wet washcloth, then close your eyes and gently scrub your eyelash line, then rinse. Do this 1-2 times per day until symptoms improve, then can do 1-2 times per week to keep you eyelids healthy and free from oily protein buildup.
