| Popis: | Refractive surgery has evolved from being a therapeutic correction of high refractive errors to a cosmetic correction. The expectations associated with such a surgery are enormous and one has to anticipate all possible complications and side-effects that come with the procedure and prepare accordingly. The most common amongst these is post-refractive surgery dry eye of which Meibomian gland dysfunction is a commonly associated cause. We present an understanding of various diagnostic imaging modalities that can be used for evaluating meibomian glands which can also serve as a visual aid for patient understanding. We also describe various common conditions which can silently cause changes in the gland architecture and function which are to be considered and evaluated for. |
