16 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
Purpose: Ocular surface microbiome changes can affect meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) development. This study aimed to delineate differences among the microbiome of eyelid skin, conjunctiva, and meibum in healthy controls (HCs) and patients afflicted with MGD. Methods: Shotgun metagenomic analysis was used to determine if there are differences between the microbial communities in ocular sites surrounding the...
