In vivo confocal microscopy of meibomian glands in Sjögren's syndrome.
PURPOSE To evaluate morphologic changes in meibomian glands (MGs) and the status of periglandular inflammation in patients with primary and secondary Sjögren's Syndrome (SS) using in vivo confocal laser microscopy (LSCM). METHODS Twenty patients with primary SS (SSI), 25 with secondary SS (SSII), 20 with MG dysfunction (MGD), and 25 age- and gender-matched control subjects were enrolled conse...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the morphological changes of meibomian glands (MGs) in primary blepharospasm (PBS) by in vivo laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) and to investigate the correlations between clinical data of PBS and LSCM parameters of MGs. This prospective and case-control study recruited 30 consecutive PBS patients and 30 age- and gender-matched healthy controls. Afte...

AIM To investigate, using laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM), the morphological changes of meibomian glands (MGs) in patients with glaucoma. METHODS A total of 80 patients who were glaucomatous were enrolled, and 20 healthy subjects were used as controls. After completing an Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire, all subjects underwent tear film break-up time (BUT), fluores...

PURPOSE To evaluate by in vivo laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) the morphologic changes in the meibomian glands (MGs) and the status of periglandular inflammation in contact lens wearers (CLWs) and to investigate the correlations between clinical and confocal findings. METHODS Twenty CLWs and 20 age- and sex-matched control subjects were consecutively enrolled. Each participant compl...
متن کاملReview Article In Vivo Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy of Human Meibomian Glands in Aging and Ocular Surface Diseases
Meibomian glands (MGs) play a crucial role in the ocular surface homeostasis by providing lipids to the superficial tear film.Their dysfunction destabilizes the tear film leading to a progressive loss of the ocular surface equilibrium and increasing the risk for dry eye. In fact, nowadays, the meibomian gland dysfunction is one of the leading causes of dry eye. Over the past decades, MGs have b...
