Are long days at work causing your eye irritation or discomfort?

🤔 Maybe not. While eye strain can contribute to dry eye disease, the most common cause is meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). MGD happens when the glands around your eyelids become blocked or don't produce enough oil to keep eyes hydrated.

Even though MGD is common, many people don’t realize they have it. Regular eye exams can help diagnose and treat MGD. Book your next exam today.
