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 ...

Prevalence of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction

Optometry and Vision Science, 1990
ABSTRACT 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, 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 ...

Effect of the Meibomian Gland Squeezer for Treatment of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction

Cornea, 2018
Purpose: To investigate the effect of the meibomian gland squeezer for treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). Methods: Seventy patients (140 eyes) with MGD were randomly divided into 2 groups: 36 patients who were treated by the meibomian gland squeezer as the treatment ...

Transitory alkali exposure on meibomian gland orifices induces meibomian gland dysfunction

The Ocular Surface, 2023
To determine pathological changes of meibomian glands (MGs) after transient exposure of the rat eyelid margin to alkali solution.Filter paper infiltrated with 1 N sodium hydroxide solution was applied to the eyelid margin of Sprague-Dawley rats for 30 s under general anesthesia, without touching the conjunctiva, after which the ocular surface and ...

Hyperlipidemia induces meibomian gland dysfunction

The Ocular Surface, 2019
To 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 ...

Conservative Treatment of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction

Eye & Contact Lens: Science & Clinical Practice, 2004
To evaluate the effectiveness of lid hygiene and preservative-free artificial tears for the treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) during a 6-week period.Suitable patients with MGD were educated about their disease and instructed to begin a regimen of lid hygiene, which included the application of a heated saline solution and the use of ...

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.

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 ...

Effect of Meibomian Gland Expression on Optical Quality in Patients with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction

Current Eye Research
To evaluate the changes in meibomian gland function, ocular surface parameters, and optical quality before and after meibomian gland expression in patients with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).Patients with MGD underwent meibomian gland expression once weekly for 4 consecutive weeks.
