Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)

Meibomian gland dysfunction is a common condition where:

• The meibomian glands in the eyelids become blocked or inflamed
• This disrupts the production of healthy tears

Symptoms

1. Dry eye: Irritation, grittiness, or burning sensation
2. Blurred vision: Temporary vision disturbances
3. Redness: Inflammation of the eyelids

Treatment

1. Warm compresses: To loosen blockages
2. Eyelid hygiene: Regular cleaning
3. Artificial tears: To lubricate the eyes
4. Medications: Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory agents

If you have MGD, consult an eye care professional for personalized advice and treatment to alleviate symptoms and improve eye health.
