What are Meibomian Glands?

Meibomian glands are small sebaceous glands located in the upper and lower eyelids of mammals, including humans. They secrete a type of oil called meibum that helps to lubricate and protect the surface of the eye, prevent evaporation of tears, and maintain a healthy tear film. The meibum also helps to prevent tears from spilling over onto the cheek and it has antimicrobial properties that help to prevent eye infections. Dysfunction of the meibomian glands can lead to a condition called meibomian gland dysfunction, which is a common cause of dry eye syndrome. #eyecare #eyehealth #meibomianglands #dryeye #tearfilm #eyelids #sebaceousglands #meibum #eyelubrication #eyeinfections #meibomianglanddysfunction #eyedoctor #optometrist
