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?!
Dry eyes (MGD), nose, mouth, occasional labyrinthitis,  dry skin , mouth ulcers, constant but fluctuating fatigue, IBS.  Blood tests and Schirmers negative,no Sjogrens dx yet.   Omega 3 algal oil, multivitamins, Evolve eye drops, Xailin eye ointment,  moisturiser (Instituto Espanol 10% urea).

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.
