What Is MGD?
January 27, 2020
Your eyelids contain meibomian glands that are responsible for producing meibum. Meibum is an oily substance that mixes with water and mucus to form tear film. Without the oil, tears dry or evaporate too quickly, leading to symptoms associated with dry eye. If something prevents your meibum gland from secreting oils into the tear mixture, you have Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD).
