impact of technology in the blink of an eye natural eye health and dry eye mgd, a leading cause of dry eye fortunately, there are some great medications and treatments available for dry eye today. most treatments are focused on tear deficiency issues, but, in most cases, dry eye symptoms are caused by blockages in the tiny meibomian glands in your eyelids. when these glands are not functioning properly, it’s called meibomian gland dysfunction (mgd), a leading cause of dry eye. early detection is essential as mgd can progress and, if left untreated, may cause permanent damage. learn more about dry eye caused by mgd 86% of those diagnosed with dry eye actually have symptoms caused by mgd dry eye and mgd stories tear film layers understanding the tear film and dry eye the tear film on the outer surface of the eye consists of three layers largely responsible for everyday visual comfort. when the tear film is compromised, the eye surface becomes easily irritated with symptoms that may include redness, excessive watering, scratchy feelings and general eye discomfort. the top oily layer of the tear film is the protective coating that keeps the middle watery layer intact. when oil production is inhibited, the watery layer of the eye surface is left exposed. this is the root cause for the majority of those with dry eye. learn more about dry eye learn what may increase your dry eye symptoms “roll over or touch below to learn more” lifestyle lifestyle smoking, diet and activities that cause eyestrain can contribute to dry eye symptoms. poor blinking poor blinking blinking naturally activates the meibomian glands. a low blink rate or incomplete blinking can cause mgd and dry eye symptoms. contact lens wear contact lens wear the simple presence of a contact lens on the eye disrupts the tears, accelerates progression of mgd, and aggravates dry eye symptoms. computer / device use computer / device use our reliance on computers and digital devices means, we are blinking less. this inhibits the function of the meibomian glands that can ultimately lead to permanent damage of the gland structure. reading / watching tv reading / watching tv reading or watching tv for long periods of time without taking breaks has been proven to deter a healthy blink rate. if mgd is prevalent, dry eye symptoms will increase. eye surgery eye surgery after eye surgery, the surface of the eye is compromised and dry eye symptoms can occur. untreated mgd can exacerbate a compromised eye surface. glaucoma and medications glaucoma and medications over 40% of patients with glaucoma have dry eye symptoms. daily use of certain glaucoma medications can disrupt the tears, exacerbate mgd and worsen dry eye symptoms. climate and environment climate and environment conditions such as wind, smoke or dry climates are known to increase dry eye symptoms for those with mgd. air-conditioning or dry heat can also contribute to eye discomfort indoors. dry eye symptom treatment eye drops ocular lubricants, both over-the-counter and prescription, provide temporary relief of dry eye symptoms by adding fluid to the eye. gland expression clearing the meibomian glands of the waxy deposits allows for the meibomian glands to begin working. punctal plugs punctal plugs are inserted into the tear ducts with a goal of holding the tears on the eye. hot compresses warm/hot compresses heat the eyelids from the front surface to provide temporary, short-term symptom relief. eyelid maintenance products eyelid scrubs remove debris from the eyelashes and the lid margin. omega – 3 fish oils omega-3 oils have been known to suppress inflammation or irritation in some patients with dry eye. many treatments for dry eye symptoms only provide short-term relief. most prescription medications have proved effective to treat tear deficiency or to reduce inflammation for many with dry eye but do not treat mgd. determine the root cause of your dry eye with your doctor and get the treatment that is best for you. beyond symptom relief, treat the cause of dry eye treating the leading cause of dry eye treating mgd with lipiflow lipiflow is the only electronic device cleared by the

layer. meibomian glands under near-infrared (nir) illumination the ocular surface and eyelids under white illumination contraindication contraindications are conditions in which the device should not be used because the risk of use clearly outweighs any benefit. no contraindications have been identified for lipiview ii. precautions the following patient conditions may affect the interferometry assessment of a patient’s tear film using the lipiview ii®: use of ophthalmic drops such as artificial tear lubricants, ointments, and medications. advise patients not to instill oil-based ophthalmic
