Eye tips from optometrist Raj at Livingston Shopping Centre!

🧠 Did You Know? One of the Most Common Causes of Dry Eyes Isn’t Actually About Tears! 👀

At Our practice, one of the most frequent complaints I hear is:

"My eyes feel dry, gritty, tired — especially by the end of the day."

The culprit?
💡 Often it’s Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) — a condition where the tiny oil glands in your eyelids get blocked. These oils are crucial for keeping your tears stable and preventing them from evaporating too quickly.

When these glands aren’t working properly, even if your eyes produce tears, they can still feel dry, irritated, and uncomfortable.

✨ The good news? Simple daily habits can help:

Warm compresses to gently heat the eyelids and loosen blockages

Lid massage to stimulate healthy oil flow

In some cases, in-practice treatments may be needed to restore long-term comfort

If you’re constantly reaching for eye drops or rubbing your eyes, don’t ignore the signs!

See comments for examples. :) .
