Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) occurs when the oil-producing glands in the eyelids do not release enough healthy oil into the tear film. Without enough oil, tears can evaporate too quickly, contributing to evaporative dry eye and symptoms such as dry, burning, gritty, or irritated eyes.

Evaporative dry eye occurs when tears evaporate from the surface of the eye too quickly. A common contributor is meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), in which the eyelid glands do not release enough healthy oil to stabilize the tear film.

Common dry-eye symptoms can include dryness, burning, grittiness, a sandy feeling, irritation, redness, fluctuating vision, eye discomfort, and sometimes excessive watering.

Yes. Dry eye can sometimes trigger reflex tearing. These watery tears may not provide the balanced oil layer needed for a stable tear film, so the eyes can water and still feel dry or irritated.

The meibomian glands produce oils that form an important part of the tear film and help slow tear evaporation. When these glands do not release enough healthy oil, evaporative dry eye can develop.

Warm compress therapy applies comfortable, controlled warmth to the closed eyelids. The warmth helps soften thickened meibomian gland oils and supports normal oil flow, which can be useful for evaporative dry eye and meibomian gland dysfunction.
