What are the treatments for Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD)?

Doctor's Answer

You may use lubricating eye drops such as SYSTANE Hydration UD, the strongest lubricant in the market at the moment, for the dry eyes problem.

In more severe cases, there is Restasis, a prescription drug, which can help your eyes manufacture more tears. We can also insert collagen punctual plugs to help you retain your tears.

Lastly, we also perform LipiFlow treatment to the meibomian glands in your eyelids to help settle dry eyes associated with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction.
