KEYS: Molecule & Micron dimensions, location of lipid glands, diminishing numbers, compliance

Small improvement can lead to significant improvement in eye health.
We have seen that in the context of micro meters and nano meters of the overall tear film, the critical lipid layer is even measured, ( and its own layers distinguished), by the size of molecules. It is easily understood that not much need to go array for a cascade of events to take place that directly can lead to Dry Eye and discomfort. On the positive side, it is readily understood that even small improvements of the tiniest lipid layer can swiftly lead to major improvement in eye health of your patients

Optimizing lipid glands
The lipid producing glands perform a most critical function directly related to vision and vision comfort of your patients. We encourage you to embrace the notion that these glands are located outside the eye, in the eyelid. Optimization of their performance must begin and cannot exist without improving their environment

Urgency
Unfortunately, lipid-producing glands diminish in number and ability to function as we age. Optimization of the ever-decreasing quantity of lipid producing glands is ever more vital

Why Daily prevention of build up? Why is compliance important?
The main pathogenic effects of the main culprit, the ubiquitous Staphylococcus Aureus, are associated with the toxins it produces. Most of these toxins are produced in the stationary phase of the bacterial growth curved. In fact it is not uncommon for an infected site to contain no viable Staph.
