First seen Apr 02, 2026 · Last updated May 04, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tested three ways to treat meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), a common cause of dry eye. 374 adults with mild-to-moderate MGD received either a warm compress mask, a device that pulses heat and massages the eyelids, or light therapy combined with gland expression. The goal was to see which treatment improves tear film stability and symptoms most effectively over 15 months.
