Meibomian Gland Dysfunction

Klinische Monatsblatter fur Augenheilkunde, 2012
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a chronic disease, usually caused by obstruction of the secretory Meibomian glands. The subsequent reduction of gland secretion results in a decreased amount of lipids in the tear film. This results in a faster evaporation of the tear film and thus an evaporative dry eye.

Meibomian gland dysfunction

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

Mebomian gland dysfunction and hypercholesterolemia

Acta Ophthalmologica, 2010
Abstract Purpose To investigate a possible correlation between Mebomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and hypercholesterolemia (total cholesterol ≥200 mg/dL). Methods Fasting blood cholesterol was measured in 35 MGD patients (mean age 47±14 years) with no history of hypercholesterolemia and in 35 control subjects (mean age 44±12 years) without MGD and no ...

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1982
We conducted a histopathologic study of he meibomian glands of seven patients (all men, ranging in age from 58 to 83 years) who had severe or moderately severe meibomian dysfunction and who were undergoing ectropion or entropion repair. Abnormal features included signs of obstruction and dilatation of ducts, enlargement of acini with cystic ...

Nonobvious Obstructive Meibomian Gland Dysfunction

Cornea, 2010
This review presents the rationale and supporting data for a recent paradigm shift in our understanding of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). The historical understanding of MGD has been that of an infectious hypersecretory disorder with obvious signs of inflammation, hypersecretion, and purulent excreta.
