Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), one of contributing factors to dry eye syndrome
Experiencing symptoms e.g. eye irritation, redness, discharge, easily fatigued eyes and blurred vision might be potentially associated with dry eye syndrome. One of contributing factors to dry eye syndrome is meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) defined as blockage or other abnormality of the meibomian glands, tiny oil glands which line the margin of the eyelids. The normal tears are made up of three layers – a lipid layer, a watery or aqueous layer and a mucous layer. If the oil gland openings get plugged up or obstructed, meibomian glands do not secrete sufficient oil into the tears, leading to evaporative dry eye that often causes eye irritation and eye lid infections. Knowing warning signs of meibomian gland dysfunction allows for early diagnosis and appropriate treatments before dry eye syndrome develops.
