How it works
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is the primary cause of evaporative dry eye. Clearing lid margin blockages improves the lipid layer of the tear film, reducing evaporation.
Must be done consistently — stopping causes relapse. Use products designed for the eye area or very diluted baby shampoo.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
