why eyelid health matters
Why eyelids are different from the rest of the face
The eyelids are among the most specialized tissues in the body. They blink thousands of times per day, distribute tears evenly across the eye, and serve as the first line of defense against environmental exposure.
Unlike other facial skin, the eyelids:
- Are extremely thin and delicate
- Contain oil-producing glands critical to tear stability
- Interact constantly with the surface of the eye
- Are immunologically active tissues
Because of this, even subtle inflammation or dysfunction can produce noticeable symptoms. When eyelid health is reduced to a cosmetic or surface-level issue, important contributors are often missed.
