Meibography

Understanding Your Meibomian Glands

Meibography is a non-invasive imaging technique that allows your eye care provider to view the meibomian glands—tiny oil-producing glands located in your eyelids. These glands play a crucial role in keeping your eyes moist and comfortable.

Why Is Meibography Important?

  • Dry Eye Diagnosis: Meibography helps identify Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), a leading cause of dry eye.
  • Early Detection: It can reveal gland dropout or structural changes before symptoms worsen.
  • Treatment Planning: Guides personalized therapies like warm compresses, LipiFlow, or gland expression.

What Will You See?

  • Images of your eyelids showing gland structure.
  • Areas of gland loss or distortion may appear as dark or missing segments.
  • Your provider will explain what these findings mean for your eye health.

What Happens Next?

If gland dysfunction is found, your provider may recommend:
  • Lifestyle changes (hydration, blinking exercises)
  • In-office treatments (thermal pulsation, manual expression)
  • Home care (eyelid hygiene, omega-3 supplements)
