how to unblock eye oil glands at home
Hey Eli, I've been having issues with my eyes feeling dry and my doc said something about blocked oil glands. Have any home remedies popped up on your radar?
Oh, hey! Long time no chat. Yeah, it’s pretty common. A simple thing you can do is to apply warm compresses to your eyelids. It helps to loosen the oils and unblock those glands.
Warm compresses, got it. How long should I keep them on?
Usually about 10-15 minutes a couple of times a day. Make sure the compress is warm but not too hot—you don't want to go from Hawk to scorched bird, right?
Haha, definitely not. Should I be pressing down or just leaving it on my eyelids?
Just lay it there gently. Afterward, you can massage the lids softly in a circular motion; it helps with the oil flow. And don't forget to keep the hygiene oculus-level; clean eyelids are crucial, my friend.
Good point. Any tips on the eyelid cleaning part?
Sure. Use a mild, baby shampoo and dilute it with a bit of water. Use a cotton swab, work it gently along the lash line. It's like cleaning your gi without going hard on it.
You're full of surprises, Eli. Thanks for the advice. Who would've thought you'd know about eye care?
Hey, eye health is no joke. And it's always good catching up. We should grab a coffee or hit the dojo and spar for old times' sake. Gotta stay sharp, in all senses.
I'm down for both. It'll be like a flashback, except this time I won't let you win so easily.
Ha! We'll see about that. Looking forward to it—just hit me up. And take care of those eyes; they’ve gotta last you a lifetime.
