Meibography
Meibography is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging technique used to visualize the meibomian glands in the eyelids. These glands are responsible for secreting oils that form part of the tear film, helping to maintain eye lubrication and prevent dryness. Dysfunction or damage to the meibomian glands can lead to dry eye disease, irritation, and discomfort. Meibography helps in diagnosing conditions like meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), which is one of the most common causes of dry eye.
At Desai Eye Institute, meibography is typically performed using specialized imaging systems, such as infrared light-based devices, that provide high-resolution images of the meibomian glands. The procedure is painless and takes only a few minutes. By examining the structure and condition of the glands, the physician can determine the extent of gland damage or dysfunction and recommend appropriate treatment options.
Medical Equipment Needed for Meibography:
- Meibography Imaging System (a specialized infrared camera or device to capture images of the meibomian glands)
- Slit Lamp (to provide magnification and assist with positioning during the procedure)
- Sterile Eye Drops (to enhance visualization of the meibomian glands, if necessary)
- Topical Anesthetic Drops (if required for patient comfort during the procedure)
- Computer Software (to analyze and store the images of the meibomian glands)
- Infrared Light Source (to illuminate the eyelid and capture detailed images)
- Sterile Gloves (to maintain hygiene during the procedure)
- Disinfectants (to sterilize equipment and the eye area if necessary)
