You can go for Meibomian Gland Probing for instance:
But you have to find a doctor who does it and does it well unless you are ready to travel.
My Current Daily Routine for Managing Dry Eye:
• Upon arising wash eyelids with soap/water and spray with hypochlorous acid…brand is Eye Love’s Heyedrate see here: https://eyelovethesun.com/collections/best-sellers/products/heyedrate-lid-lash-cleanser-subscription-plans
• Take 2 capsules at breakfast of Hydroeye (dry eye formula recommended by Dr. Ward OD which includes GLA/Omegas, etc.); another one at noon; last one at dinner. See here: https://www.sciencebasedhealth.com/HydroEye-Powerful-Dry-Eye-Relief-P43.aspx
• 1000mg Vitamin C at breakfast… per my other eye doctor Dr. Lu D.O.
• Use a heated eye pad and massage eyes sometime during the day. I use this one but there are other options:

• Use Regener-Eyes Professional strength 2x per day (breakfast time and dinner time)…made up of proteins, cytokines and growth factors… see here for more info: https://mydryeyes.org/
• Use Restasis 2x per day…after breakfast and 9PM (prescription drug)
• Use Thera Tears brand as needed…usually I don’t have to do much if any of that daily.
• Just before bedtime wash eyelids and spray with hypochlorous acid…when dry, wipe with lid wipes currently using OcuSoft Lid Scrb Allergy Eyelid Cleanser that you can find here:
• In bed use preservative free “Refresh Optive Mega-3” and then put on night goggles to cover my eyes since I am quite sure I sleep with them at least partially open. I use this type of goggles: https://www.eyeeco.com/onyixsupsup-hydrating-sleep-mask-black-onyix-black.html?cat-id=43
I have done these two treatments 3x in the last 5 years that worked well for me:
BlephEx treatment: https://blephex.com/patients/index.php
Lipiflow treatment: https://www.jnj.com/innovation/lipiflow-thermal-pulsation-system-a-new-dry-eye-treatment
Also in the last part of 2021 I did 4 IPL treatments using the method that also gets the eye lids not the method with the eye lids covered…see here starting at 13 minutes and 40 seconds into the video:

I also follow two dry eye doctors (husband and wife team) who run this support community:

You can get these doctors free eBook here if you are willing to give them an email address:
I do use some of the doctors’ products so that is what is in it for the doctors but I am just a customer. They don’t see patients any longer, they just run their dry eye company now.
