Structural and functional characteristics of meibomian glands in meibomian gland dysfunction
… of meibomian gland (MG) morphology; to evaluate meibum composition and ocular surface signs and symptoms associated with morphological changes in the glands before and after treatment for Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). Methods: There were five method development studies and one clinical …

The eyelid and its role in contact lens discomfort
… lens wearers. Lipid analysis showed that meibum and tear lipidome significantly differed between symptomatic and asymptomatic lens wearers, both in terms of concentrations of essential lipids and their structural properties. Significant increases in phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin in …

Imaging of Meibomian Glands in Various Species
Purpose: Meibomian glands (MG) secrete meibum, the lipid component of the tear film essential for tear stability which is disrupted during dry eye disease. Blink rate varies across species suggesting differences in tear film stability, MG anatomy, and meibum quality. Meibography is performed on …

Intense Pulsed Light for the Treatment of Evaporative Dry Eye
… layer thickness, meibomian gland capping and meibum expressibility may be related to alteration of tear lipid profile rather than reduction in ocular surface inflammation, thus broadening the current understanding on the possible mechanisms of action underlying IPL therapy for MGD relief.
