http://ht.ly/h1iy4 Hawaiian Eye 2013 video presentation 'Surgical concerns about evaporative dry eye and lid disease' by James McCulley, Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, Tx. Might need to register for OSN Supersite to view. If your ophthalmologist is out of the office 19-25 Jan, try Waikoloa.
Dry eye and blepharitis checklist for before surgery. Useful summary of blepharitis symptoms and some of the treatments.
Identifies a new classification of 'high delivery meibomian gland dysfunction' for seborrheoic blepharitis, and 'low delivery MGD' being obstructive or hyposecretory - the doctor must press on the eyelid to examine secretions.
In blepharitis there are always increased normally-occuring microorganisms like gram positive Staphylococcus aureus, including in what looks like primarily an aqueous-deficient dry eye.
25-50% of chronic blepharitis patients also had an aqueous-deficient dry eye with a combination of hyposecretion, hyperevaporation and molecular surface toxicity. This is true of all dry eye patients whether with lid margin disease or not.
