Your Tear Film & Dry Eye

Your eyes need tears to stay healthy. The tear film is a layer of tears covering the surface of your eyes that protects against infections and provides nutrients.

It is made of 3 layers:

The oily outer layer
The watery middle layer
The inner mucus layer

When there’s an issue with any one of the layers, you can develop dry eye and inflammation.

What Is Meibomian Gland Dysfunction?

Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a chronic and progressive condition affecting the function of the tiny meibomian glands that line your eyelids. These glands produce the tear film’s oily layer, which is essential for preventing your tears from evaporating too quickly.

MGD symptoms include:

Watery eyes
Fluctuating or blurry vision
Discomfort wearing contact lenses or eye makeup

OptiLIGHT by Lumenis can address MGD by gently stimulating your meibomian glands, helping release the oils your eyes need.

Common Symptoms of Dry Eye

Common symptoms of dry eye syndrome include:

Stinging or gritty eyes
Scratchy and uncomfortable eyes
Fluctuating vision
A burning feeling
The feeling of something in the eye

It’s essential to treat and manage dry eye syndrome to help alleviate symptoms and reduce the risk of complications. We can help you find relief so you can get your productivity back.
