Meibomian Gland Dysfunction in Chronic Blepharitis

Cornea, 1991
We examined 57 patients with symptoms of chronic blepharitis using meibomian gland expression, meibography, tear osmolarity, and the Schirmer's test. We also performed meibography on 20 normal patients free of chronic blepharitis. We found that 42 blepharitis patients (74%) had evidence of meibomian gland loss, whereas only four of 20 normal patients ...

Cytarabine chemotherapy induces meibomian gland dysfunction

The Ocular Surface
Cytarabine (Ara-C) chemotherapy causes symptoms resembling meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), suggesting potential associations between Ara-C and MGD. In this study, the pathological effects of Ara-C on MGD were investigated in a rodent model.Mice received Ara-C with or without rosiglitazone (PPARγ agonist) for 7 consecutive days.

Meibomian Gland Dysfunction and Contact Lens Discomfort

Eye & Contact Lens: Science & Clinical Practice, 2017
Abstract: Meibomian glands are located in the eyelids and secrete meibum, which gives rise to the lipid layer of the tear film. Changes to these glands can lead to the development of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), which is associated with various ocular symptoms such as fatigue, dryness, burning sensation, and heavy sensation.

Journal francais d'ophtalmologie, 2015
Meibomian gland dysfunctions (MGD) are frequent affections, sometimes asymptomatic, more often responsible for disabling, potentially severe, manifestations. MGD is indeed the most frequent cause of dry eye, through the induction of tear film instability. However, eyelid inflammation, microbial proliferation that modifies melting temperature of meibum,
