Meibomian Gland Expression / Probing
Meibomian Gland Expression and Probing is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure used to evaluate and treat Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), a common cause of dry eye syndrome. At Desai Eye Hospital, this procedure helps restore healthy oil secretion in the eyelids, improving tear film stability and reducing eye discomfort.
During the procedure, a warm compress or anesthetic eye drop may be applied for comfort. The ophthalmologist uses gentle pressure or a specialized instrument to express the meibomian glands and release any blocked or thickened oil. If severe blockage is present, probing may be performed, where a fine, sterile probe is inserted into the gland openings to clear obstructions and restore normal function.
Meibomian Gland Expression and Probing is a safe, effective procedure that enhances tear quality and relieves dry eye symptoms. At Desai Eye Hospital, our specialists ensure gentle and precise treatment, helping patients achieve long-term relief from MGD-related discomfort.
