Episode Synopsis

Eye gland dysfunction, often referred to as meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), occurs when oil-secreting glands in the eyelids become blocked or inflamed, causing tear film instability. Symptoms include dryness, irritation, redness, and fluctuating vision. Treatment involves warm compresses, lid massages, gland expression, and topical or oral therapies to restore function.
