• Warm application on the outer surface of affected eye helps to soften the blocked duct. Do this at least 3-4 times a day for 10 minutes each.
• Wash eyes with warm water frequently throughout the day to clear out any debris or discharge.
• Avoid sharing of wash cloths or towels with others.
• Avoid use of eye makeup like mascara and eye liner till the infection subsides completely. Make-up can clog the eye gland again and result in a recurrent condition.
