摘要睑板腺是全身最大的皮脂腺,合成并分泌脂质成分,形成泪膜脂质层,与眼表健康息息相关.睑板腺形态学异常将影响睑板腺的功能,是目前眼表疾病领域的研究热点.了解睑板腺形态学变化与疾病的关系对睑板腺功能障碍的诊断与治疗具有重要意义.因此,有必要就目前睑板腺形态学的观察分析方法、疾病的睑板腺形态学改变等相关研究进展予以综述.

abstractsThe meibomian gland (MG) in the eyelids,which is the largest sebaceous gland throughout the body,synthesize and secrete lipids to form the superficial tear film layer.It plays a key role in maintaining the ocular surface health.Abnormalities in meibomian gland morphology lead to meibomian gland dysfunction,which is the main cause of evaporative dry eye.Study on meibomian gland morphology will contribute significantly to the diagnosis and treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction.This review is just focusing on the current studies about techniques to visualize the morphology of the MG and changes of meibomian gland morphology related to diseases.
