Thank you @KPRC Haley Hernandez for this story on Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) that is affecting many people (young and old) and causing dry eye symptoms.
Two of the modern causes are from:
1. Not blinking enough and fully when looking at digital devices
2. Not caring for eyelash extensions properly and not cleaning eye makeup off fully
Common complications: #dryeye #redeyes #blepharitis #demodex
Lipiflow (Thermal pulsation, by @TearScience & @JNJ) is a non-invasive in office procedure to provide relief for patients who suffer from MGD/Dry Eye symptoms. It's important to visit your eye doctor to discuss dry eye symptoms and treatment options before they turn into the disease state.
