This study attempted to determine whether contact lens wear has any adverse effect on the Meibomian glands. The study also tried to elucidate the prevalence of Meibomian gland dysfunction in the general population. The results of the study showed that Meibomian gland dysfunction exists in 43% of the population (lens wearers and nonlens wearers), 49% of the contact lens wearing population (81 subjects), and 39% of nonlens wearers (150 subjects). No statistically significant difference was found in the prevalence of Meibomian gland dysfunction between healthy contact lens wearers and the control group of nonlens wearers. The study therefore could not prove that contact lens wear is a contributing factor to Meibomian gland dysfunction.
本研究试图确定佩戴隐形眼镜是否会对睑板腺产生任何不良影响。该研究还试图阐明普通人群中睑板腺功能障碍的患病率。研究结果表明,43%的人群(包括隐形眼镜佩戴者和非佩戴者)存在睑板腺功能障碍,其中49%的隐形眼镜佩戴人群(81名受试者)以及39%的非隐形眼镜佩戴者(150名受试者)存在该问题。在健康隐形眼镜佩戴者和非隐形眼镜佩戴者对照组之间,睑板腺功能障碍的患病率未发现统计学上的显著差异。因此,该研究无法证明佩戴隐形眼镜是导致睑板腺功能障碍的一个因素。
