This dryness can be accompanied by alterations of the Meibomian glands which are found in the eyelids and whose function is to secrete fats which lubricate and maintain stable the tear film which covers the ocular surface in normal conditions and protects the cells of the cornea.
Because the function of the glands has been impaired ra, the tear film breaks in seconds of opening the eye causing the nerve endings and the corneal cells are exposed to the air and rubbing the eyelid causing inflammation in the area.
