Understanding the
Cause Dry Eye
Healthy tears contain a balance of water, oil, and mucus. The meibomian glands in the eyelids produce the oils that help prevent tears from evaporating too quickly. When these glands become blocked or inflamed, a condition known as meibomian gland dysfunction, or MGD, can develop.
Dry eye symptoms often include:
Burning, stinging, or gritty sensations
Red or irritated eyes
Excessive Watering
Fluctuating or blurry vision
Sensitivity to light
Eye fatigue during screen use
Difficulty wearing contact lenses comfortably
Because dry eye has several possible causes, effective treatment starts with understanding what is happening at the surface of your eyes and along the eyelids.
