#meibomianGland

Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is an umbrella term that encompasses several meibomian gland disorders, ranging from congenital to acquired. Disruption of meibomian gland function negatively impacts both the quality and quantity of meibum secreted, which in turn affects ocular surface health through changes in tear film composition. Increased tear evaporation, hyperosmolarity, inflammation, and ocular surface damage can subsequently occur. This may cause discomfort, visual disruption, and sensation of dry eye. This review article discusses the pathology, causes, and ocular surface impact of MGD, as well as its relationship to dry eye.
