Evaporative dry eye is the most common type, which is due to meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). In this study, the morphology of meibomian glands was evaluated in all kinds of dry eyes to look for any loss of meibomian glands, assess the function of remaining glands, and investigate the relationship between anatomy, function, and severity of DED.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 300 patients were included in the study, with 150 eyes in the study group and 150 in the control group. Meibomian gland morphology was assessed by examining the tarsal plate after everting the eyelids. Tear film function was evaluated using tear film break-up time (TBUT) and Schirmer\u2019s test (SCH I and II). Meibomian gland morphology was examined with a slit-lamp under magnification, a transilluminator using a small light emitting diode (LED) bulb, and non-contact meibography using an auto refracto-keratometer (ARK).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Females had a higher prevalence of dry eyes in our study. In all, 103 eyes (68.6%) in the study group had evaporative dry eye, making it the most prevalent type. Among the 150 controls, 104 controls with 69.3% had no dry eye symptoms, and in those with symptoms, the evaporative type was the most common, with a 28% prevalence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>TBUT should be performed in all patients with detectable MG abnormality. Meibography has high specificity and sensitivity to diagnose MGD and in turn dry eyes and should be considered a routine screening modality.<\/jats:p>\n
