What is the use of eyelid massage?

Eyes are one of the most important organs in our body. Although eyes appear to have a simple structure, consisting of nothing more than eyelids and eyeballs, the structure of eyes is actually quite complex. Each structure plays a certain role and none of them can be missing. In daily life, eye massage is indeed helpful to eye health. So the question is, what is the effect of eyelid massage?

What are Meibomian Glands?

Meibomian glands are enlarged special sebaceous glands located in the tarsal plate of the eyelids, arranged perpendicular to the eyelid margin and opening at the eyelid margin. There are about 25-40 lines on the upper eyelid and about 20-30 lines on the lower eyelid.

Secretes clear oil, also known as meibum. Meibum is the outermost layer covering the tear film (the tear film is divided into three layers). It has the function of lubricating the ocular surface, reducing the evaporation of the aqueous layer of the tear film and refraction.

At present, physical fat removal in clinical practice mainly adopts methods such as hot compresses on the eyelids, massage, squeezing, and cleaning the eyelid margins to treat patients with severe blockage of the meibomian gland openings, obvious fat plugs, and viscous lipids that are difficult to discharge. We simply call it "massaging the meibomian glands", but the treatment should be provided by professional medical staff with professional treatment guidance.
