Dry eye problems aren’t new—they’ve been bothering people for years. Sometimes it’s just a little irritating, and other times, it can be tough to get through the day. If your eyes often itch, burn, feel gritty, or get red for no reason, you’re not imagining it. Blurry vision and sensitivity to light are common too.
The cause? Well, it’s not always the same for everyone. In many cases, it happens when your eyes don’t make enough tears, or the tears evaporate too fast. One common reason is a condition called meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). These glands in your eyelids are supposed to release oils that keep your tears from drying up too quickly. When that doesn’t happen, dryness sets in.
