Therapeutic Instruments Targeting Meibomian Gland Dysfunction [PDF]
Ophthalmology and Therapy, 2020 The most prevalent type of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), which is obstructive, is the main cause of evaporative dry eye and is characterized by changes in the meibum composition and duct obstruction. Eyelid hygiene has usually been the most common clinical approach. However, alternative therapies for MGD are emerging on the market.
