| Meibomian gland obstruction induces hyposecretion of tear film lipids, which results in lipid layer deficiency and evaporative dry eye. |
|
| At the outermost surface lies the oily lipid layer, which is secreted from glands on the edge of your eyelids called the Meibomian glands. |
|
| An even higher level of similar esters from modified sebaceous glands called Meibomian Glands forms a monolayer of lipids that covers the outer surface of the aqueous tearfilm of the eye. |
|
| Meibomian gland adenocarcinoma of the eyelid with preauricular lymph node metastasis. |
|
| Meibomian Gland Dysfunction results from the formation of keratotic plugs, which obstruct gland orifices and limit the secretion of individual glands. |
|
| An incisional biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of Meibomian gland carcinoma. |
|
| Androgen Deficiency, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, and Evaporative Dry Eye. |
|
| A meibomian cyst is an enlargement of the glands that lie within the eyelid and which secrete lipids. |
|
| The oil layer is secreted by 16 to 20 glands in the eyelids called the meibomian glands. |
|
| The most effective treatment for meibomian cysts is to bathe them with warm compresses about four or five times a day. |
|
| A chalazion is a chronic granulomatous inflammation in the meibomian gland. |
|
| We speculated that pigmentation of the meibomian glands in this patient was due to obstructive dysfunction of the meibomian glands as well as to the use of liquid eyeliner. |
|
| Therefore, an increased blinking frequency could produce more secretion from the meibomian glands and therefore a longer break-up time. |
|
| Oil-producing glands called meibomian glands shrink a little, so you wind up with less oil on the front surface of the tear film. |
|
| The outer layer of the tear film is covered by an oily layer produced by meibomian glands in the lower and upper eyelids. |
|
| Blepharitis is caused by a bacterial infection of the eyelash follicles and the tiny oil-secreting meibomian glands that line the eyelids. |
|
| An internal sty results from inflammation of a meibomian gland, one of the modified sebaceous glands that lie close to the eyeball along the margin of the eyelids. |
|
| This type of sty is sometimes called a chalazion, although the latter term is usually reserved for a painless, chronic swelling of the meibomian gland. |
|
| Sometimes the meibomian glands suffer from a chronic infection, and a painless firm lump, called a chalazion, appears in the lid and slowly increases in size. |
|
| Tears are produced by the lachrymal and meibomian glands and contain all manner of chemicals, including proteins, enzymes and metabolic waste products. |
|
|
|
| The added warmth helps open the meibomian glands, which secrete the oily lipid layer of the tear film, slowing the evaporation of natural tears, the company says. |
|
| Eyelid scrubbing with Johnson's Baby Shampoo and hot compresses help people with posterior blepharitis, a dysfunction of the meibomian glands that line the eyelid margins. |
|
| This beauty faux pas interferes with your meibomian glands, which help in the production of tears. |
|
| The sebaceous glands evenly spaced in rows at the border of the eyelids the meibomian glands are so large that they are easily seen with the naked eye when the eyelids are everted. |
|
| It is caused by an allergic reaction in the meibomian glands at the base of the eyelashes, which leads to watering eyes and itching which is worse at night. |
|
| The proposed mechanism of benefit involves fish oil's salutary effects on meibomian gland oils. |
|
| The outer layer of the tears is an oily substance secreted by the meibomian glands, which are vertically oriented in the upper and lower lids. |
|
| Moist heat loosens the oils in the meibomian glands, penetrating deeply to help hydrate the eyelid and surrounding skin, and promote circulation. |
|
| Eyelids contain 20-50 such meibomian glands, whose pores open near the eyelash roots. |
|
| Absent meibomian glands in the ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia, cleft lippalate syndrome. |
|
| In aqueous tear deficient dry eye, lacrimal glands do not produce enough tears, whereas meibomian gland dysfunction results in evaporative dry eye. |
|
| Inflammation of the meibomian glands may result in inspissated secretions, which are difficult to express and thus lead to obstruction of the glands. |
