MEIBOMIAN GLANDS AND DRY EYE

Proteomic analysis of human meibomian gland secretions -- Tsai et al. 90 (3): 372 -- British Journal of Ophthalmology I don't think it's news that meibomian gland dysfunction contributes to dry eye. This study concludes:

"that the meibomian gland secretes a number of proteins into the tear film. It is quite possible that these proteins contribute to the dynamics of the tear film in both health and disease."

This underscores the importance of addressing meibomian gland dysfunction in the treatment of dry eyes. I've been using flaxseed oil for this purpose lately with success, in addition to our other resources such as Restasis and plugs.
