Research progress in the pathogenesis of meibomian gland dysfunction
Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2022, Vol 37, Issue 4
Abstract
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a chronic and diffuse disease of the eyelid gland. It is usually characterized by obstruction of the terminal duct of the eyelid gland or changes in the quantity/quality of the eyelid fat secreted. It can clinically cause dry eye symptoms such as abnormal tear film, corneal epithelial damage and eye irritation. The etiology of MGD is complex and affected by a variety of factors. Therefore, the study on the pathogenesis of MGD is of great importance to guide clinical work. This article introduces the animal research model of MGD, and reviews the cellular and molecular mechanisms related to MGD based on some basic research.
