Meibomian Gland Imaging

The meibomian glands produce the protective oil layer that helps prevent your tears from evaporating too quickly. When these glands become blocked or damaged, patients often develop Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), one of the leading causes of dry eye disease.

At Family First Eye Care, we use advanced meibomian gland imaging to evaluate the health and structure of these important glands.

This painless imaging allows us to:

Detect gland blockage
Identify gland loss or atrophy
Diagnose Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)
Monitor treatment progress over time

Because these glands cannot regenerate once they are permanently lost, early diagnosis is essential. Imaging allows us to recommend treatment before significant damage occurs.

Our advanced imaging helps us create a more accurate diagnosis and a more personalized treatment plan.
