Can an atrophied meibomian gland come back?
In this clip from my dry eye podcast, Joseph Allen, OD, discusses meibomian gland dysfunction with Dr. Laura Periman, MD ( @DryEyeMaster ) meibomian gland atrophy, gland dropout, and whether damaged glands can be revived or restored.

If you have evaporative dry eye, blocked meibomian glands, or ongoing dry eye symptoms, understanding the difference between gland dysfunction and gland atrophy is important.

$My Favorite Eye Pressure Test that doesnt hurt? iCare Tonometer #EyeExam #Glaucoma Checking your eye pressure doesnt have to involve the dreaded air puff! 👁️ One of my favorite technologies is the iCare tonometer, which measures eye pressure using a tiny, lightweight probe that gently touches the surface of the eye for a fraction of a second. Most people barely feel it, which means theyre less likely to squeeze or tense up, helping us get a more reliable measurement. Does your eye doctor use an iCare tonometer? Let me know in the comments! If not, ask them at your next eye exam if theyve heard of or use this technology. Id love to hear what type of eye pressure test youve experienced. #EyeHealth #EyeExam #Glaucoma #Optometry #DoctorEyeHealth$
