Comprehensive Dry Eye Relief in Vienna
Dry eye disease affects millions in America and can worsen over time if left untreated. It is characterized by insufficient tear production or tears evaporating too quickly, leading to irritation and discomfort. Symptoms such as dryness, redness, and a gritty eye feeling can impact overall eye health and vision quality.
Most people with dry eyes suffer from meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), which compromises the tear film's lipid layer and intensifies common dry eye symptoms.
What is Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)?
Meibomian gland dysfunction, commonly referred to as MGD, is a condition where the meibomian glands located in the eyelids fail to secrete enough oil or the quality of the oil is poor.
These glands are essential for maintaining a healthy tear film by producing oils that prevent the tear layer from evaporating too quickly. Tears evaporate faster when these glands become blocked or malfunction, leading to dry eyes and associated discomfort.
MGD is often a primary cause of dry eye syndrome; addressing this condition is crucial for effective treatment. Early diagnosis and treatment of MGD can help restore the stability of the tear film, reduce dry eye symptoms, and prevent further ocular surface damage.
