Meibography

The Meibomian(my-bo-me-an) glands naturally secrete a stabilizing lipid layer of tear film to keep eyes moist, lubricated and healthy. A specialized imaging study, developed exclusively for the purpose of visualizing the morphology of meibomian glands, is used to determine the Tear Breakup Time (TBUT). This reading is beneficial in determining and understanding ocular surface diseases and managing Dry Eye Syndrome.
