What Is Evaporative Dry Eye Disease?
Tears are essential for maintaining ocular surface health, consisting of three layers: mucous, aqueous, and lipid. The lipid layer, produced by the meibomian glands, prevents rapid evaporation of the aqueous component. Dysfunction of these glands leads to a deficient lipid layer, resulting in increased tear evaporation and the onset of EDED. Symptoms include dryness, irritation, redness, and a gritty sensation in the eyes.

What Is Evaporative Dry Eye Disease?
Evaporative Dry Eye Disease (EDE) is the most prevalent form of Dry Eye Disease (DED), accounting for over 85% of cases. It occurs when the tear film’s oily layer is insufficient, leading to rapid evaporation of tears and resulting in symptoms such as burning, itching, and blurred vision.
The primary cause of EDE is Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), where the glands responsible for secreting oils into the tear film become blocked or produce poor-quality oil.
Traditional Treatments and Their Limitations
Conventional treatments for EDE include artificial tears, warm compresses, and eyelid hygiene. While these methods can provide temporary relief, they often fail to address the underlying cause—MGD—effectively.
EYELIVIO®: A Revolutionary Dual-Action Treatment
EYELIVIO® introduces an innovative approach by combining two synergistic components:
