One of the most common causes of dry eye symptoms results from a condition called Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). In a healthy eye lid, there are many small meibomian glands which secrete fatty oils to help create a stable and quality tear film. These oils help prevent the watery component of your tears from evaporating too quickly. If your meibomian glands are clogged, the important oily component cannot be released onto the surface of the eye, allowing the tears to evaporate or dry up, causing dry eye symptoms. This is called Evaporative Dry Eye
