Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is the major cause of evaporative dry eye disease (EDED) and dysfunction is widely thought to mechanistically involve ductal hyperkeratinization, plugging and ...

Routine evaluation of meibomian glands, starting in childhood, is crucial for identifying and managing this progressive disease before it leads to long-term ocular surface issues.

Nichols, OD, MPH, PhD, FAAO, a five-year, $1.9 million R01 grant to study potential molecular markers in meibomian gland dysfunction, a type of evaporative dry eye disease. Evaporative dry eye is the ...

Ocular surface disease is a common condition characterized by abnormalities in the tear film and ocular surface, resulting in ...

LipiFlow treatment for meibomian gland dysfunction More than 25 years of clinical research shows that meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is the primary cause of dry eye disease and that it can be ...

A new device for meibomian gland debridement was safe and effective and demonstrated time and space benefits compared with conventional debridement and expression approaches, according to a study ...

In this review we have critically evaluated the proposed pathogenetic mechanism for MGD involving hyperkeratinization of the meibomian gland duct leading to obstruction, cystic dilation and ...
