Title: Red grapes, blueberries, for MGD
Post by: araminta on September 21, 2016, 08:08:08 AM
Hello, my ophthalmologist has told me I have MGD, and I read online that red grapes, blueberries and some other berries can help.   Has anyone here had good results with eating these - and how many did you eat each day?!

Didn't know this. I have MGD as well. Retain drops help immensely. You can find them at CVS and some other drug stores here in US. Also, thera pearl eye mask at night before bed along with massages afterwards. My eyes have gotten significantly better.

Thanks for your advice, Wal.   I did use a heated mask + massage every day for about 3 months with no result.  I haven't tried Retain, I'll bear that in mind.    I've just started using Hylo Forte drops.   But whatever I do I end the day with red eyes!   Anyway I'm starting to eat some grapes and blueberries every day and I'll report back if I make a breakthrough.

Mebobian gland dysfunction. The Retain drops are designed specifically for MGD.
