Main Article Content
Abstract
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), has been well established as a major etiologic factor in dry eye disease, replacing long regarded aqueous deficiency. Lemp, et al reported that 86% of a dry eye clinic cohort demonstrated evidence of MGD.1 An understanding of normal meibomian gland function is important to effective dry eye management.
