Can I do TransPRK if I have dry eyes due to Meibomian Gland Dysfunction?

Yes you are right that meibomian gland disease (MGD) is a major cause of dry eyes. If you do have a combination of MGD and dry eyes, there are many ways to treat them! However, since you mentioned that your eyes are neither dry nor painful without contact lens use, I suspect you may have another condition known as Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis (GPC). It is very common for chronic contact lens over-wearers to develop GPC. It is your body’s response or ‘rejection’ to the chronic use of contact lenses, which is regarded as a ‘foreign’ material to your eye.

How can I treat my red and inflamed inner eyelids before LASIK?

there are several possibilities for the problem you mention ie redness and slight swelling just on the inner part of the under surface of the eyelids. It may be nothing pathological (sometimes certain parts of the eyes/eyelids may look a bit redder but be normal), or it may be issues like dryness or eyelid inflammation/blepharitis. Without knowing what the problem is for sure, it is difficult to know what else to do to make it better.
