Survey of Ophthalmology, 1996
Blepharitis is probably the most common disease entity seen in the general ophthalmologist's office. A significant proportion of these cases are secondary to meibomian gland disease. This review outlines our knowledge of the histopathology, lipid abnormalities and role of microorganisms in meibomian gland dysfunction. We will also review the physiology

The Neurobiology of the Meibomian Glands
The Ocular Surface, 2014This article compiles research regarding the neuroanatomy of the meibomian glands and their associated blood vessels. After a review of meibomian gland morphology and regulation via hormones, a case for innervation is made based on anatomical findings whereby the nerves lack a myelin sheath and Schwann cells.

Current Eye Research, 1996
The content of the meibomian gland lipid exprimate is known, but little is known about the phospholipids that comprise the glandular cells. The purpose of the present study is to identify and quantitate the phospholipid complement of the meibomian gland cells that produce the lipid secretion of meibomian oil and which is vital to tear film stability ...

Effect of the Meibomian Gland Squeezer for Treatment of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction
Cornea, 2018Purpose: To investigate the effect of the meibomian gland squeezer for treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). Methods: Seventy patients (140 eyes) with MGD were randomly divided into 2 groups: 36 patients who were treated by the meibomian gland squeezer as the treatment ...

Meibomian gland tumors have been the subject of an uncommon degree of controversy concerning the question of their actual existence, the types of neoplasm that may develop, and the degree of malignancy that they may possess. Much of this controversy stemmed from the rarity of these tumors, which led to opinions on histology and clinical behavior based ...

Pathophysiology of Meibomian Glands – An Overview
Ocular Immunology and Inflammation, 2021Purpose: The meibomian glands are located in the tarsal plate of the upper and lower eyelid and are responsible for the production of a lipid-rich secretion, the meibum, which forms the outer component of the tear film. Meibomian gland dysfunction results in excessive evaporation of the tear film and is the leading cause of dry eye disease (DED ...

Video Imaging of the Meibomian Gland
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1994We report herein a new method for observing the structure of the meibomian glands. This type of meibography uses a one-chip infrared video camera, a hand-held transilluminating light source, and a video monitor. The infrared camera is positioned in the visual axis of the patient's eye.

Therapy for meibomian gland disease
Ophthalmology Clinics of North America, 2003Great advances have been made in the past half-century in our understanding of meibomian gland function and of the many inflammatory, hormonal, and infectious processes leading to its dysfunction. These advances have led to an exploration of exciting new avenues for treatment of this common but frustrating disease entity.

Transitory alkali exposure on meibomian gland orifices induces meibomian gland dysfunction
The Ocular Surface, 2023To determine pathological changes of meibomian glands (MGs) after transient exposure of the rat eyelid margin to alkali solution.Filter paper infiltrated with 1 N sodium hydroxide solution was applied to the eyelid margin of Sprague-Dawley rats for 30 s under general anesthesia, without touching the conjunctiva, after which the ocular surface and ...
