Evaporative dry eye often starts with a problem in the meibomian glands - the tiny glands along the eyelids that produce the oil layer of your tears. When those glands are blocked or not working well, tears evaporate too quickly, leaving your eyes feeling dry, irritated, and tired. At The Eye Studio, we use OptiLight by Lumenis as part of our dry eye care because it is designed to address meibomian gland dysfunction, or MGD, which is a leading cause of evaporative dry eye.
