The general population of Al-Qunfudah was well-informed about dry eye disease, the usage of eye cosmetics, and their effects on the eyes, and they had good habits of washing their faces and eyelids. On the other hand, one detrimental behavior associated with a lack of understanding of meibomian gland dysfunction is sharing cosmetic tools with other people. Lastly, patients should learn about MGD, dry eyes, and basic eyelid hygiene from ophthalmologists and primary care doctors, with a focus on low-income people.
