The great variety of lipid species in the outer lipid layer is secreted by meibomian glands.
Meibomian glands are found in both lids, with orifices at the lid margins.
The lipid layer reduces evaporation of the aqueous component of tears to 5-10% of the tear flow and helps provide lubrication during the blink cycle as well.
