Study of meibomian gland dysfunction and hypercholesterolemia

TNOA Journal of Ophthalmic Science and Research, 2019
Background: Hypercholesterolemia is a risk factor for ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular disease. Increased cholesterol in the meibomian gland secretion has been considered necessary for development of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).
