Strategies for the Diagnosis/Treatment of MGD, Ocular Surface Journal, 01.2017

[MGD1701]

Hello
An eye doctor was so kind to recommend me this comprehensive report,

''Emerging strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction:
Proceedings of the OCEAN group meeting''

compiled by 11 eye doctors including:
French: Prof. Christophe Baudouin German: Prof. Gerd Geerling and Prof. E. Messmer

Perhaps it could help you know your options.
Have you heard of non-invasive TBU using (advaced/latest technology) Keratogaphy (item 5.3)?

Confocal microsopy: I plan to do it as I have never done it.
It can detect more info on MGD and demodex issues, according to the report.

I have had no luck in finding a solution-driven doctor so I need to keep learning and exploring experiments.
I asked one doctor if BlephEx, probing, IPL would help me. He said yes.
But the one who performs two of them says NO need.

Thanks for sharing.

Next tuesday i will go to a doctor in a clinic where they have Keratograph 5M and Tearlab. Diagnosis techniques seem to be really evolving. Let's see if cause's understandig and treatment evolves too...

Hi agrlds
How were your examinations? Do you find Keratograph help you find more information? I have NOT done that.
Thanks!
