The meibomian glands in your eyelids produce the oily layer of your tears. Sometimes - if we don't eat the right types of fats....or don't blink well enough, they get clogged up. Clogged glands lead to disease eventually to atrophy of these key structures. The result of meibomian gland disease is the symptoms of dry eye.
Cannon EyeCare offers 2 different advanced treatments aimed at restoring function to these crucial oil glands. This video shows "Therma Gland Expression" wherein we heat up the lids after a thorough cleaning....then squeze the butter out of there. This resets the glands so that fresh, healthy, olive-oil like liquid can bathe the ocular surface in nutrients again.
