Question (from a noob)

[chella21279]

Got 3mm on a schirmers today. I've never had DYS ever in my life. This all started over a month ago. I'm 35. All blood work came out perfect. Not on any medications. No illnesses. Also, just got most of the inflammation cleared up from a steroid (praying it doesn't come back). Now what could possibly be the reason for not producing enough tears?

MGD/bleph isn't associated with inadequate tear production, correct? (Mgd/bleph is more of the quality of tears?)

Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks all in advance.

Have you checked your hormones? Do you eat healthy? Are you on any HRT/BC pill, anything...?

MGD is related to another layer of the tear film, the lipid one. Yours seem to be associated with the aqueous one.

Yes I've checked my hormones. Not on any pills at all. I eat really healthy. I even work out 4 times a week. I had a call into my doctor today and he just said "sometimes people just don't produce enough tears, there's no explaination".
