…WHAT IS TOO OFTEN OVERLOOKED? …..AND WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS ALL IMPORTANT OUTER, OILY, TEAR LAYER?………..

THE OILY TEAR LAYER IS MADE OUTSIDE THE EYE . .IN THE EYELID!!!

Tiny glands located not in the eye, but in the eyelid (outside the eye) produce the Tear Bubble. These lipid producing glands have little tunnels (ducts) out of which the outer oily tear film comes. With each blink a little oily film is squeezed on the total tear and this oily tear bubble is spread to help prevent evaporation!

OPTIMIZING THE EYELID IS CRITICAL

WHY YOU COULD OPTIMIZE THE EYE LID
Because the lipid tear is so important, but also because it is so tiny and miniscule, little improvements can lead to big benefits. Brushing teeth (dental hygiene) helps with your dental health. In the same fashion, the best eye care specialists prescribe daily eyelid hygiene. Hygiene helps with periocular health and must be part of your daily routine.
