    Glossary Meibomian Gland Dysfunction

    condition where eyelid glands don't produce enough quality oil

    Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) is a condition where the Meibomian glands, located in the eyelids, do not secrete enough oil or produce poor-quality oil. This oil is essential for maintaining a healthy tear film and preventing the evaporation of tears. MGD can lead to symptoms such as dry eyes, irritation, and inflammation, and is a common cause of dry eye syndrome.
