Article Synopsis
- - Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a chronic eye condition characterized by meibomian gland blockages and lipid issues, and a rat model was developed to study the mechanisms behind these obstructions.
- - The study involved assessing tear production, tear film stability, and structural changes in the meibomian glands over 4, 8, and 16 weeks using various staining techniques and RNA sequencing.
- - Findings indicated that prolonged meibomian gland obstruction leads to significant histological changes, increased corneal damage, and altered gene expression related to lipid metabolism and inflammatory pathways, suggesting that such obstructions are a key cause of MGD.
Purpose: The study aimed to investigate the factors associated with anterior location of Marx's line in ocular surface and living habits, especially in tear film.
Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study enlisted 483 participants with meibomian gland dysfunction, who were divided into two groups: 160 participants with mild anterior location of Marx's line and 323 participants with moderate-to-severe anterior location. Participants completed a survey of demographic characteristics (sex, age, length of visual terminal use, sleep duration, skin property), and the Ocular Surface Disease Index and Standard Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness questionnaires.
Clinical Relevance: Assessing the consistency of pupil offset measurements between the Pentacam and Keratron Scout is essential for the refractive surgery design of young myopic patients.
Background: Accurate preoperative measurement of pupil offset is critical to achieving a better quality of vision after refractive surgery. The Pentacam and Keratron Scout are commonly used in hospitals, and evaluating their consistency is essential for accurate measurement of pupil offset.
