What Causes Chronic Dry Eye?
Blocked oil glands along the eyelid edges weaken your tear film, causing chronic dryness. This condition — Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) — is the leading cause of dry eye disease and affects millions of adults.
Common triggers include aging, extended screen time, contact lens wear, LASIK surgery, certain medications, and inflammatory conditions like rosacea, blepharitis, and Sjögren’s syndrome.
Why Eye Drops Alone Aren’t Enough
Over-the-counter drops only provide temporary surface moisture. They don’t address the underlying gland dysfunction causing your symptoms. Professional treatments are essential to restore natural tear production and treat MGD at its source.
At Tayani Institute, our dry eye specialists diagnose the root cause of your symptoms and create a personalized treatment plan that delivers lasting relief — not just temporary comfort.
