  • 2

    Meibomian gland dysfunction is prevalent in 60-80% of patients with ocular symptoms, making it a key feature of ocular rosacea.

  • 3

    Infrared meibography is a noninvasive technique that visualizes meibomian gland architecture, aiding in the diagnosis of ocular rosacea.

  • 4

    The study quantitatively compared meibomian gland loss in ocular rosacea patients versus controls, introducing percentage-based analysis.

  • 5

    Lower eyelid meibomian gland dropout serves as a potential diagnostic indicator for ocular rosacea, with implications for clinical practice.
