Topical glaucoma medications − Possible implications on the meibomian glands

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 102, Issue 7, Page 735-748, November 2024.
Abstract One of the most common causes of blindness on a global scale is glaucoma. There is a strong association between glaucoma and increased intraocular pressure (IOP). Because of this, adequate IOP‐lowering is the most important treatment strategy, mostly through topical eyedrops.

Development of a dry eye index as a new biomarker of dry eye disease

Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, Volume 44, Issue 7, Page 1472-1483, November 2024.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate signs and symptoms in patients diagnosed with dry eye disease (DED), divided into dry eye (DE) groups, in order to find a new biomarker that allows an accurate diagnosis, management and classification of DED. Methods This cross‐sectional, observational study included 71 DED subjects.

Meibography health score: a simple grading system for isotretinoin-induced meibography alterations on patients with acne vulgaris

Arquivos Brasileiros de Oftalmologia
To develop a simple, subjective, and reliable grading scale for isotretinoin-induced meibography changes.After analyzing meibography images obtained from systemic isotretinoin users, a grading scale was proposed and named "meibography health score." The score ranged from 1 to 3, with decreasing gland reflectivity and identifiable margins. A total of 11

Association between statin use and dry eye disease in patients with hyperlipidemia: A population‐based retrospective cohort study

Clinical and Translational Science, Volume 17, Issue 10, October 2024.
Abstract Higher serum cholesterol levels have been associated with an increased risk of dry eye disease (DED). The relationship between statin (HMG‐CoA reductase inhibitor) use and DED in patients with hyperlipidemia remains unclear. To investigate the association between statin use and the risk of DED in patients with hyperlipidemia, we conducted a ...

Imaging assessment of conjunctival goblet cells in dry eye disease

Clinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, Volume 52, Issue 5, Page 576-588, July 2024.
Abstract Dry eye disease (DED) is a widespread, multifactorial, and chronic disorder of the ocular surface with disruption of tear film homeostasis as its core trait. Conjunctival goblet cells (CGCs) are specialised secretory cells found in the conjunctival epithelium that participate in tear film formation by secreting mucin.

An automated and multi-parametric algorithm for objective analysis of meibography images

CoRR, 2020
Meibography is a non-contact imaging technique used by ophthalmologists to assist in the evaluation and diagnosis of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). While artificial qualitative analysis of meibography images could lead to low repeatability and efficiency and multi-parametric analysis is demanding to offer more comprehensive information in ...

Temporal variations in meibomian gland structure—A pilot study

Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, Volume 44, Issue 5, Page 894-909, July 2024.
Abstract Purpose To investigate whether there is a measurable change in meibomian gland morphological characteristics over the course of a day (12 h) and over a month. Methods The study enrolled 15 participants who attended a total of 11 study visits spanning a 5‐week period. To assess diurnal changes in meibomian glands, seven visits were conducted on
