What do my eyelids do?
Your eyelids are a protective covering for your eyes, shielding them from outside objects and light. They also keep moisture in and help the surface of your eyes stay lubricated.
Your eyelids are a unique part of your body because they’re the only external layer of skin with no under-the-skin (subcutaneous) fat. That also makes them the thinnest layer of skin your body has. One of their main jobs is protecting your eyes. Your eye surface can easily absorb germs floating in the air. Your eyelids are a key part of how your body defends against that because germs have a harder time entering through skin.
Your eyelids aren’t just there to sit on top of your eyes. They’re supposed to glide across your eyes’ surfaces smoothly. And your eyes need moisture from tear fluid because it’s part of how your corneas which don’t have any blood vessels in them absorb oxygen from the air.
A good way to think of them is like a combination of the windshield wiper blades on a car and a retractable shade on a window inside a building. They help keep your eye surface safe and clean like wiper blades, and they can close to limit how much light enters your eyes, like a window shade.
