Glands Zeiss produce oil to protect the eyelashes from drying out.

Explanation:
Oil for the eyelashes comes from sebaceous glands that sit at the base of each lash follicle—the Glands of Zeis. Their sebum coats the eyelash and surrounding lid margin, keeping the lashes flexible and helping to prevent drying by supporting the lipid layer of the tear film. Goblet cells in the conjunctiva secrete mucins for the mucous layer of tears, while the lacrimal gland provides the aqueous part of tears. The Glands Moll are apocrine sweat glands near the lash line; they don’t primarily supply the oily lubrication that protects the lashes.
