Chinese expert consensus on meibomian gland dysfunction: diagnosis and management (2023)

Abstract

Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a common ocular surface disease. In recent years, the meibomian gland-related examination and treatment technologies have evolved rapidly. In order to further optimize the diagnostic process of MGD in China and improve the treatment efficiency of MGD, the Chinese Branch of the Asian Dry Eye Society has organized relevant experts to discuss the clinical characteristics of MGD in China and the progress of research at home and abroad. Based on the expert consensus formed in 2017, the updated consensus opinions have been developed for clinical physicians to refer to in the diagnosis and management of MGD.
