Human Meibum Age, Lipid–Lipid Interactions and Lipid Saturation in Meibum From Infants [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2017
Tear stability decreases with increasing age and the same signs of instability are exacerbated with dry eye. Meibum lipid compositional changes with age provide insights into the biomolecules responsible for tear film instability. Meibum was collected from 69 normal donors ranging in age from 0.6 to 68 years of age.

Analysis of Meibum and Tear Lipids

Ocular Surface, 2012
The meibum is a lipid-rich secretion that is the primary component of the external layer of the tear film. The meibomian glands produce the meibum, and meibomian gland dysfunction can lead to degradation of the tear film. Such dysfunction can result in ocular irritation, inflammation, and clinical disease. Understanding this relationship is critical to
