I've had dry eyes for around 2 years now, and I've been fairly successful in managing symptoms to the point where I only need to use 1 drop a day if I'm looking at screens a ton. I'm currently doing Xiidra, Tryptyr, Compress once every 3 days, Eyelid Massage, and Eyelid Hygeine.

The last appointment I had with my doctor seemed to go very well. Plenty of oils were expressing and things in general looked much better than before Tryptyr, my latest prescription. However, he mentioned that I still had some inflammation the inside of my top eyelids (Palpebral Conjuctiva). Are there any solutions to this? I feel like this would explain the high tortuosity of my meibomian glands on imaging.

I've never had IPL or RF, but he mentioned that RF could potentially be a logical pathway for me in the future if things get worse.

I want to set up a tasting or something similar where I can begin to understand the difference in notes and flavors that whiskeys can present. I feel right now that I don't understand the differences in what I'm drinking between the whiskies I have.

Do y'all have any advice on what whiskies (or types of whiskies) I should look at when trying to do something like this? I want to help my pallet understand the different flavors. Do y'all also have any advice on how to conduct something like this correctly?

Currently I have: Bulleit Rye, Eagle Rare 10y, EHT Small Batch, Buffalo Trace, & Woodford double oaked
