Revisiting the vicious circle of dry eye disease: a focus on the pathophysiology of meibomian gland dysfunction

18 Jan 2016

Abstract excerpt

Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is the most frequent cause of dry eye disease (DED). Eyelid inflammation, microbial growth, associated skin disorders as well as potentially severe corneal complications culminate to make MGD a complex multifactorial disorder. It is probable that MGD is a heterogeneous condition arising from any combination of the following five separate pathophysiological mechanisms: eyelid...
