Purpose To determine the interobserver and intraobserver repeatability in using the
OCULUS Keratograph 4 (K4) and 5M (K5M) to grade meibomian gland (MG) dropout using …

Many recent studies have showed that morphological changes are one of the key signs of
meibomian gland disease (MGD). These changes can be seen even before symptom onset …

Abstract Background Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) is a leading cause of
evaporative Dry Eye Disease (DED). This makes non-invasive meibography an important …

The meibomian glands of the upper and lower eyelids play a valuable role in secreting the
lipidlayer of the tear film. Disturbances in meibomian gland function may result in altered …

Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a major cause of dry eye, and the purpose of the
present study was to evaluate the differences between dry eye patients with MGD and …

Purpose To investigate the dynamic changes of tear fluid after cosmetic transcutaneous
lower blepharoplasty. Design Prospective, observational case series study. Methods A total …

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of Meibomian gland probing for obstructive Meibomian
gland dysfunction (O-MGD) using intraductal Meibomian gland probe. Materials and …

Results A new MGD score was established based on IVCM findings: the first stage was
Meibomian obstruction with a clear epithelium, the second stage was an inflammatory state …

Meibomian lipids form the superficial layer of the tear film, contribute to tear film stability and
retard tear evaporation. In obstructive meibomian gland disease, tear film stability is …

Meibomian glands secrete meibum, which gives rise to the lipid layer of the tear film and
thereby prevents excessive evaporation of tear fluid. Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is …
