Wow, I had a feeling that it might have something to do with it. I’ve never had any eye problems, but right around the time my T started dropping I developed the same thing! I would wake up with my eyes almost shut with that stuff. I did the compresses for months. Tried topical antibiotics and steroids. Nothing helped.
The topical stuff just made it worse- swelling it up. The only thing that I found helps it is fish oil, and this stuff called lecithin. Try that too. I take a good bit of both- that kinda controlled it a little for a few months, but never really healed it.
I figured there had to be a connection, especially since it’s nearly gone now, 3 or 4 weeks after I started TRT and an oral antibiotic i got at the same time. Didn’t know if it was the antibiotic or the TRT, but now I’d guess it was TRT.
