@optometristlondon: How many of us actually clean our eyelids? 👁️ Almost nobody. And that’s one of the reasons why dry eyes are one of the most common complaints I see in clinic after 23 years as an optometrist. Your eyelids harbour bacteria, dead skin cells, and debris that block the tiny meibomian glands responsible for keeping your eyes lubricated. Block those glands — and dry, gritty, uncomfortable eyes are almost guaranteed. Here’s what I recommend: ✅ Clean your eyelids daily at home with a dedicated lid wipe or warm compress ✅ Book a professional eyelid clean every 6–12 months ✅ Don’t wait until your eyes are already suffering Dry eye isn’t just uncomfortable — left untreated it can affect your vision long term. Your eyes deserve the same daily care as your skin. 👁️✨ #DryEyes #DryEyeTreatment #eyecare #EyeHealth #optometrist
