Meibography

Advanced Imaging for Dry Eye Detection

A meibographer is an advanced imaging device that captures detailed images of your meibomian glands—the tiny oil-producing glands located along your eyelids. These glands play a vital role in keeping your tears healthy and preventing them from evaporating too quickly.

Meibography allows your eye doctor to evaluate the health and function of these glands, helping identify the underlying causes of dry eye disease and other eyelid conditions before symptoms become more severe.

Why Is Meibography Important?

One of the leading causes of dry eye is Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), a condition in which the oil glands become blocked or damaged. Without enough healthy oil in your tear film, your eyes may become dry, irritated, watery, or experience fluctuating vision.

Meibography provides clear images of your meibomian glands, allowing your doctor to detect gland loss, blockage, or structural changes that cannot be seen during a standard eye exam.
