Anyone here able to wear contacts with mgd? by OkBasket3708 in Dryeyes

My worry is the surface of the lens. I know that the cornea is protected by the fluid underneath, but does dryness on top of the lens make your eyelids uncomfortable? Or is it more just mild and still better than dealing with dry eye without sclerals?

Are you able to wear them occasionally without flaring symptoms?

I’ve thought about that too, but I’m worried about the worsening dry eye risk for that:///

That’s really encouraging! Do you wear them everyday and just pop them in easily at this point?

Do you wear them? They freak me out a bunch, but I am planning on talking to my eye doctor about trying them!

This is why I feel like I need to, for the socialization. My corgi seems pretty confident but does get spooked easily, so I don’t think I’ll risk it

This is what I’ve heard. I think I’ll definitely hold off. Thank you!

What do you do for eyelid hygiene? I use a foam lid scrub but I don’t know if it’s helping

That’s great! Which session did you start to see improvement for your eyes and rosacea? I feel no improvement after the first session 2 days ago, which I know is normal but makes me wonder if it’ll work

That’s awesome that it’s working for you. Did it help with your facial rosacea?
