Meibomian gland imaging: A review

African Vision and Eye Health, 2015
The meibomian glands of the upper and lower eyelids play a valuable role in secreting the lipidlayer of the tear film. Disturbances in meibomian gland function may result in altered secretion andvariations in tear composition which may lead to meibomian ...

Effectiveness of Intraductal Meibomian Gland Probing for Obstructive Meibomian Gland Dysfunction

Cornea, 2016
To evaluate the short-term effectiveness of intraductal meibomian gland probing using modified Maskin cannulas in patients with obstructive meibomian gland dysfunction.The study prospectively included 58 eyes of 30 patients with a diagnosis of meibomian gland dysfunction who were refractory to medical treatment for at least 6 months.

A novel method of complex evaluation of meibomian glands morphological and functional state

Oftalʹmologiâ, 2014
A novel method that provides complex assessment of meibomian glands morphological and functional state — biometry of meibomian glands — was developed. The results of complex examination (including meibomian glands biometry), correlation analysis data and

Meibomian Gland Morphology Is a Sensitive Early Indicator of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction [PDF]

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 2019
To investigate the relationship between meibomian gland (MG) morphology and clinical dry eye tests in patients with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).Cross-sectional study.Total 538 MGD patients and 21 healthy controls.MG loss on meibography images of upper (UL) and lower lids (LL) was graded on a scale of 0 (lowest degree of MG loss) to 3.

What is the incidence and clinical significance of dry eye disease in patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors? A systematic review and meta‐analysis of ocular immune‐related adverse events

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed cancer therapy but may cause immune‐related adverse events (irAEs), including dry eye disease (DED). This study aimed to quantify the incidence of ICI‐associated DED and to evaluate factors contributing to variability across studies.

Repeatability of keratometry depending on tear film osmolarity

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To determine the repeatability of keratometry and astigmatism measurements of patients depending on the tear film osmolarity using three different devices. Methods In this study, 97 eyes of 97 patients with a mean age of 64.92 ± 12.07 years received three repeated measurements with the IOLMaster 700 (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany),

Dry eye disease symptoms and associated risk factors in a Norwegian clinical cohort

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The relationship between dry eye disease (DED) symptoms and different demographic, clinical and lifestyle factors remains poorly understood. Norway's cold climate and dry indoor air may accelerate tear evaporation, contributing to a very high meibomian gland dysfunction prevalence, as found in multiple studies.

Meibomian Gland Dysfunction

Pakistan Journal of Ophthalmology, 2019
Dry eyes is a common, chronic condition that has a prevalence of about 5- 50%.1 According to the Dry Eye Workshop II report (DEWS II report), published in 2017, the updated definition of Dry Eye Disease is, “a multifactorial disease of the ocular surface characterised by a loss of homeostasis of the tear film, and accompanied by ocular symptoms, in ...
