Manual expression of meibomian glands

Manual expression of meibomian glands is not just an important therapeutic option for #mgd, but it is a critical diagnostic component of a dry eye exam. Manual expression is a dynamic assessment of oil color, turbidity, and viscosity. This dynamic assessment is not seen in automated gland expression. #dryeyecare #ocularrosacea #meibomianglanddysfunction #ophthalmology #cornea
