Home Care Tips for Meibomian Gland Dysfunction

Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) happens when oil-secreting glands in your eyelids don't secrete the quantity or quality of oil you need to prevent your eyes from drying out. MGD is a very common cause of dry eye syndrome.


MGD can be congenital or acquired, and can lead to a group of disorders, including:

  • Dry eye syndrome
  • Eyelid inflammation, called blepharitis
  • Ocular surface disease
  • Ocular and eyelid discomfort
  • Evaporative dry eye
