When treating posterior lid disease, I like to add a flaxseed oil oral supplement to the initial intervention with doxycycline and hot soaks. (I prescribe the new TheraTears Nutrition for Eyes.)
The supplement accentuates the response and gives me a long-term treatment once the doxycycline has been discontinued. I've been using this system for more than 2 years with great success.
