Figure 1. Relation of meibomian gland (MG)
dropout grades with tear functions, ocular surface disorder, MG acinar
unit density and diameters. A-H: The MG drop out grade
(severity) showed significant relations with tear functions including
BUT, DR-1 tear film lipid layer interferometry grades, TEROS, and
fluorescein and Rose-Bengal staining scores (p<0.05) except the mean
Schirmer test value (p>0.05; A-F). Both the mean
acinar unit density and diameter showed significant relations with MG
drop out grades (p<0.05; G-H).
