The evaluation of morphological changes of the acini in the meibomian glands is important for the diagnosis and management of dry eye related to meibomian gland dysfunction. While several tools have been developed to detect meibomian gland structure, infrared imaging is generally used in clinical settings. Unlike the lipid component analysis of tear film in which quantitative analysis is possible, the meibomian glands are limited to qualitative analysis because of the low image quality of the diagnostic tools. This review describes diagnostic tools, especially in terms of morphological evaluation of the acini, which are visualized by the existence of lipid within them.
睑板腺腺泡形态变化的评估对于睑板腺功能障碍相关干眼的诊断和管理至关重要。虽然已经开发了几种工具来检测睑板腺结构,但红外成像通常用于临床环境。与泪膜脂质成分分析不同,泪膜脂质成分分析可以进行定量分析,而由于诊断工具的图像质量较低,睑板腺仅限于定性分析。本文综述了诊断工具,特别是关于腺泡形态学评估方面,腺泡通过其中脂质的存在而可视化。
