Meibomian glands make an oil called meibum that forms the protective outer layer of your tear film, which keeps your tears from evaporating too quickly.
When these glands become blocked, inflamed, or unhealthy, tears can evaporate too quickly and cause burning, redness, watering, eyelid irritation, or fluctuating vision.
Mosaddegh Eye Institute evaluates gland function and tear-film stability before recommending in-office or at-home treatment options.
