    Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a major contributor to dry eye disease, affecting 50-70% of cases and leading to tear film instability.

  • 2

    Objective assessment of meibomian gland morphology is essential for evaluating MGD severity and treatment effects, yet current techniques are underutilized.

  • 3

    Video meibography has emerged as a low-cost, noninvasive method for assessing meibomian gland structure, enhancing its clinical application.

  • 4

    The study included 155 participants, focusing on the relationship between meibomian gland changes, age, and dry eye parameters.
