Update:
It's not apparent in any of the photos, but right now I'm dealing with what seems to be meibomian gland dysfunction and blepharitis.
I already had signs of MGD before surgery, such as dryness and small temporary bumps appearing often on the waterline. I guess the surgery + not being able to wash my eyes for 7+ days caused the current symptoms though. Also, while Korea is a moderately humid climate, I live in a fkin desert. It's hard for my skin to adjust overall
Current symptoms are:
-dryness
-the waterline bumps, but much more often (they often cause foreign body sensation)
-i see a layer of oil move over my iris after blinking
-my eyelashes are flaky / the root of the lash has like a clear/white buildup
-everything itches but I can't do anything
Does anyone have advice on how to deal with this?
