This is a blocked meibomian gland(tear glands), plugged by thick secretions. U can gently massage the upper lid to open the blocked glands. Warm compresses followed by lid massage, less use of cosmetics and cleaning and maintaining of lid hygiene will prevent it's recurrence. Also reduce your screen time.
