Meibomian gland probing in patients with meibomian gland dysfunction

Indian Journal of Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 2019
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of Meibomian gland probing for obstructive Meibomian gland dysfunction (O-MGD) using intraductal Meibomian gland probe. Materials and Methods: 30 patients with Obstructive MGD based on 1. Presence of lid tenderness/ lid margin congestion/ telangiectasia /viscous meibomian gland secretion on slit lamp examination; 2 ...

The International Workshop on Meibomian Gland Dysfunction: Report of the Subcommittee on Management and Treatment of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction [PDF]

Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2011
The goals of the subcommittee were to review the current practice and published evidence of medical and surgical treatment options for meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and to identify areas with conflicting, or lack of, evidence, observations, concepts, or even mechanisms where further research is required.

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),

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

Uneven Meibomian Gland Dropout in Patients with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction and Demodex Infestation

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2022
The purpose of this study was to compare the differences between uneven meibomian gland (MG) atrophy with and without Demodex infestation based on the index of uneven atrophy score (UAS). In this retrospective cohort study, 158 subjects were recruited, including 66 subjects in the Demodex-positive MGD group, 49 subjects in the Demodex-negative MGD ...

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.

Identifying Important Proteins in Meibomian Gland Dysfunction with Explainable Artificial Intelligence

, 2023
Meibomian gland dysfunction is the most common cause of dry eye disease and leads to significantly reduced quality of life and social burdens. Because meibomian gland dysfunction results in impaired function of the tear film lipid layer, studying the ...

Evolving treatments for Sjögren disease: current approaches and emerging targets

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Sjögren disease (SjD) is a prevalent systemic autoimmune condition characterised by exocrine gland dysfunction, systemic inflammation and heterogeneous organ involvement. Current management remains largely symptomatic, with no approved disease‐modifying therapies available and substantial unmet clinical need. However, advances in understanding

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 ...
