Meibography
Meibography is a specialized diagnostic imaging technique offered at Desai Eye Hospital to assess the health and function of the meibomian glands, which are located in the eyelids and responsible for producing the oil component of tears. These glands play a crucial role in maintaining a stable tear film, preventing dry eye symptoms, and promoting overall eye comfort.
During meibography, a non-invasive imaging device uses infrared light to capture detailed images of the meibomian glands. This allows the ophthalmologist to evaluate the structure, number, and function of the glands, helping to identify any blockages, atrophy, or other abnormalities that may contribute to dry eye disease or other ocular surface conditions. The procedure is quick and painless, and the information gathered helps guide treatment options, such as gland expression, warm compresses, or prescription medications. Our experts utilize meibography as part of a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and managing dry eye disease, ensuring tailored care to improve patient comfort and eye health.
