Meibomian Gland Changes in Ocular Prosthesis Users
Sponsor: Instituto de Oftalmología Fundación Conde de Valenciana
Summary
This observational cross-sectional study aims to evaluate meibomian gland loss and dry eye symptoms in patients using unilateral ocular prostheses. The study compares the prosthetic eye with the contralateral healthy eye using the DEQ-5 questionnaire and meibography obtained with the Oculus Keratograph 5M. Additional ocular surface parameters, including conjunctival hyperemia and tear meniscus height, are also evaluated. The objective is to determine whether ocular prosthesis wear is associated with morphological changes in the meibomian glands and increased dry eye symptoms.
