The application of in vivo laser confocal microscopy to the diagnosis and evaluation of meibomian gland dysfunction
PURPOSE To evaluate the morphological changes of the meibomian glands (MG) in patients with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) compared to normal subjects by in vivo confocal microscopy and to investigate the relation of these changes to the clinical ocular surface findings and tear functions. METHODS Twenty MGD patients and 15 normal subjects were recruited into this prospective study. Patien...
متن کاملThe aging Meibomian gland: an in vivo confocal study.
PURPOSE To evaluate age-related Meibomian gland (MG) changes by in vivo laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM). METHODS Asymptomatic healthy subjects (n=100, age range 20-83 years) with an Ocular Surface Disease Index score of less than 13 were consecutively enrolled. Two additional groups, one composed of subjects under 40 years of age (n=12) and one composed of subjects over 65 years (n=...

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...
متن کاملIn vivo confocal microscopy of meibomian glands in primary blepharospasm
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...
متن کاملIn vivo confocal microscopy of meibomian glands in glaucoma.
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...
