Comparative assessment of structural and tear film alterations in rabbit meibomian gland dysfunction models using chemical and electrocauterization techniques [PDF]
Scientific ReportsMeibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) constitutes the most common cause of dry eye disease (DED), where altering meibum or lipids result in tear film instability. This study compares structural and tear film changes induced by chemical cauterization (CC) and
