The lacrimal gland is responsible for producing the watery component of our tear film. Many factors, such as medication, infections, or autoimmune diseases, can reduce its function. Thus, a complete drug and medical history is necessary to understand a patient's dry eye and the health of their lacrimal gland.

The Meibomian glands produce an oil-like substance that coats the watery layer of our tear film to prevent it from evaporating. As we age, these glands may secrete a thicker product, become blocked or dysfunctional, and we become more sensitive to wind and air conditioning. Strategies to improve Meibomian gland secretion may involve heat to melt the thickened oil and massage to express it onto the ocular surface.

Treating dry eye may require reviewing medications, increasing lacrimal gland secretion with drops, treating systemic medical conditions, helping the Meibomian glands, or a combination of these approaches.

If you require more information about laser refractive procedures, please consult your local optician or Collaboration: Ideally, optometrists and ophthalmologists work together as a partnership. Optometrists are often the first line of screening for eye diseases and manage vision correction.
