Hi Beaker,
I suffer with this also and also had styes which I don't normally suffer with. I literally had to massage my right eye in the middle of the night to get it open when I went to the loo!
I went to my optician and she explained that during menopause the natural oils in your eyelid harden and need to be kept soft. She recommends the heat method as someone has already advised you. I use a gel mask that I heat in hot water and relax with it on for ten minutes while I listen to spa music, bliss
It can take a few days to make a difference and if you can manage twice a day all the better
You can buy the mask online, Its called EyeSoothe for Blepharitis and my drops are Hycosan Plus and they are preservative free.
