The connection between Chinese children's Meibomian Gland Dysfunction and dry eye illness and childhood obesity
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is one of the most common causes of dry eye disease (DED), a condition affecting millions globally. MGD occurs when the meibomian glands, located in the eyelids, fail to secrete enough oil or produce poor-quality oil, leading to rapid tear evaporation. The result is ocular discomfort, irritation, redness, and blurred vision.Download Full PDF Sample Copy of Market Report @ https://exactitudeconsultancy.com/request-sample/72867
Rising screen time, environmental stressors, and aging populations are driving MGD prevalence. Furthermore, the growing association between MGD, contact lens intolerance, and ocular surgeries has increased demand for effective treatments. Advancements in diagnostic technologies, thermal pulsation systems, anti-inflammatory drugs, and at-home therapies are reshaping the MGD treatment landscape, making this an area of significant opportunity for healthcare providers and pharmaceutical companies.
