Diabetes mellitus is a significant risk factor for developing dry eye syndrome (DES). Elevated blood glucose levels can lead to neuropathy, affecting the nerves responsible for tear production. This results in decreased tear secretion and an unstable tear film. Additionally, hyperglycemia induces inflammation on the ocular surface, further compromising tear quality and leading to symptoms such as irritation, redness, and blurred vision. Healthline
Studies indicate that individuals with diabetes have a higher prevalence of DES compared to the general population. A meta-analysis revealed that diabetes mellitus is significantly associated with an increased risk of dry eye syndrome.
This underscores the importance of proactive eye care in diabetic patients.
How the UNclog Eye Mask Alleviates Dry Eye Symptoms
The UNclog and UNCLOGIC Eye Masks employ gentle heat therapy to address meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), a common contributor to DES. By applying consistent warmth, the mask helps liquefy and release clogged oils in the meibomian glands, enhancing the lipid layer of the tear film. This process reduces tear evaporation, stabilizes the tear film, and alleviates dry eye symptoms.
