Growth of meibomian gland tissue after intraductal meibomian gland probing in patients with obstructive meibomian gland dysfunction
PURPOSE To investigate the impact of meibomian gland probing (MGP) on meibomian gland (MG) area from the upper lids of patients with obstructive meibomian gland dysfunction (o-MGD). METHODS Retrospective study comparing pre-MGP/post-MGP non-contact infrared meibography results in patients with o-MGD, viewing signs of MG growth within total measurement field. RESULTS Post-MGP meibography of ...

متن کاملIn vivo biomicroscopy and photography of meibomian glands in a rabbit model of meibomian gland dysfunction.
The usefulness of transillumination and biomicroscopy of the lid margin in assessing meibomian gland dysfunction was studied in a rabbit model. Transillumination of rabbit lids treated with topical epinephrine for 2 to 3 months revealed plugging of the meibomian gland orifice. Plugging appeared to be correlated histopathologically with increased thickness and hyperkeratinization of the ductal e...
متن کاملMeibomian gland dysfunction.
Blepharitis is probably the most common disease entity seen in the general ophthalmologist's office. A significant proportion of these cases are secondary to meibomian gland disease. This review outlines our knowledge of the histopathology, lipid abnormalities and role of microorganisms in meibomian gland dysfunction. We will also review the physiology of meibomian gland secretion and present m...
