Dry eye disease also called dry eye syndrome is extremely burdensome to patients that suffer from this. There has been several advancements over the last 20 years including research related to meibomian gland and how this can affect dry eyes. 

Aqueous Dry Eye

Aqueous dry eye is characterized by tear deficiency. It occurs when the lacrimal glands don’t produce enough of the watery component of tears. In recent years, we have learned that true reduced tear production is rare.

Evaporative Dry Eye 0r Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)

Evaporative dry eye affects 65% of dry eye patients. It is caused by Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), which creates a deficiency in the oil layer of the tear film. These glands make the lipid or oily part of tears that slows evaporation and keeps the tears stable. This can be the beginning of other dry eye disease problems including damage to the cornea and sight-related issues. When the Meibomian glands are blocked or the glands have been compromised, the eye becomes exposed.
