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

Management of meibomian gland dysfunction: a review
Survey of Ophthalmology, 2020Meibomian gland dysfunction is the leading cause of evaporative dry eye disease and is one of the most common conditions encountered by eye care providers. The disorder is characterized by obstruction of the meibomian gland terminal ducts and/or changes in their glandular secretion, resulting in changes in tear film stability, inflammation, and ...

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.

Mebomian gland dysfunction and hypercholesterolemia
Acta Ophthalmologica, 2010Abstract 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 ...

Prevalence of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction
Optometry and Vision Science, 1990ABSTRACT This study was performed to determine the prevalence of Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and to determine which patient profile factors might be associated with the syndrome. Patients were randomly selected, apparently normal patients presenting for routine vision examinations.

Histopathology of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1982We 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 ...

Hyperlipidemia induces meibomian gland dysfunction
The Ocular Surface, 2019To investigate the pathological changes of the meibomian gland (MG) and ocular surface in Apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE-/-) mice and to investigate the association of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) with hyperlipidemia.Total plasma cholesterol was measured in different ages of ApoE-/- and wild type (WT) mice, whilst the ocular surfaces were ...
