Indeed, research has shown a correlation between the use of contact lenses and changes in the meibomian glands, responsible for producing an oil layer in our tears that prevents evaporation. These modifications can persist for up to six months even after you stop wearing contact lenses. Therefore, it's essential to understand that using a q-tip for meibomian gland expression may not be enough to prevent these changes. Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), a condition resulting from the blockage or dysfunction of the meibomian glands, is often a consequence of chronic dry eyes. To ensure comfortable contact lens use and avoid MGD, treating dry eyes is highly recommended. An inside-out approach, such as the oral Comprehensive All In One Starter Kit from TheraLife, has shown sustainable and long-lasting results in treating dry eyes.
