A 2002 study published in the journal Ophthalmology studied the use of castor oil-containing eye drops in the treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), a common dry eye cause. Study participants applied a mixture that contained 2 percent castor oil and 5 percent polyoxyethylene castor oil. The researchers found the castor oil eye drops were effective in treating MGD, and study participants didn’t report adverse side effects. Paugh JR, Tse J, Nguyen T, et al.

Meibomian gland dysfunction and treatment. Something to keep in mind: The formula can be runny right out of the tube, so use caution when depositing the product onto your skin. Another standout from testing, the StriVectin Peptight 360 Tightening Eye Serum had a considerable effect on the look of our under-eye bags. Not only did it de-puff the area, but it tightened the skin under the eyes over time. But how? Well, the light, easy-to-layer formula leans on three unique peptides to improve skin elasticity and amp up collagen production, as well as caffeine, which helps to brighten dark circles. We were also fans of the cooling applicator tip that gently massages, depuffs, and wakes up the eye troughs.

An artificial tear ointment. If you have severely dry eyes, you may need to use an ointment instead of a drop. Did you know that you have approximately 75 oil glands in the eyelids of each eye? These glands are called Meibomian glands and are located just behind the eyelash follicles. Their important role is to secret Miebum, which is oil, into your tear film. When the Meibomian glands are dysfunctional, this places you at risk for a number of eye problems, which we’ll discuss below. Dry Eye Syndrome is a common side effect of dysfunctioning Meibomian glands. Our optimal tear film should be composed of both Meibum (oil) and Aqueous (water). When the Meibomian glands are plugged, they are no longer secreting the oily component of your tear film. Thus, your tears are too watery and susceptible to excessive evaporation, leading to dry eyes. To treat this type of dry eye syndrome, we recommend eyelid hygiene and the use of artificial tears that contain an oil replacement.
