Are you suffering from these persistent symptoms?
- Burning or foreign object sensation in the eyes.
- Fluctuating vision, especially in front of a screen or while reading.
- Chronic red eyes or swollen eyelids.
- Excessive tearing (eyes that cry by themselves — a paradoxical sign of DGM).
- Frustration: “I've tried everything (drops, warming masks) but nothing lasts.
If this sounds familiar, the problem is most likely not the lack of tears, but their quality. DGM occurs when the oil glands in your eyelids become blocked, causing tears to evaporate quickly. Ignored, DGM can lead to permanent gland loss (atrophy) and irreversible chronic dry eyes.

The source of your discomfort: at the heart of the Meibomian glands
Understand the meibomian gland dysfunction (DGM) is the first step in restoring the quality of your tears and regaining lasting eye comfort. Far from being an isolated problem, this condition is the number one cause of dry eyes and is closely linked to eyelid inflammation, such as blepharitis Or the ocular rosacea, which are often both the cause and the consequence.
There are several factors that can trigger or worsen MGD. THEage And the hormonal changes, especially menopause, play a major role. The extended wear of contact lenses can also interfere with gland function, just like taking certain medications, a known effect of post-Accutane dry eye. To the CARE Clinic, our advanced imaging diagnostic process (meibography) allows you to accurately assess the condition of your glands to target the true source of your discomfort.
