Impact of Hyperglycemia on Tear Film and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction: A Cross-Sectional Study by Meng F, Zhou Y, Bao T, Pang Y, Shao Q, Wang L, Zhao J, Li W, Xu H, Yang Y, Zhang B

“…Tear meniscus height (TMH), non-invasive tear film breakup time (FNIBUT, ANIBUT), bulbar redness, and meibomian gland atrophy (U-LAMG, L-LAMG) were assessed using a non-invasive ocular surface analyzer. Fasting blood glucose levels stratified patients into high (≥ 7 mmol/l) and normal (< 7 mmol/l) groups, and their association with DED parameters was analyzed.Results: Among 56 patients (mean age 52.5 ± 18.0 years), those with elevated glucose levels (n=28) had more severe DED symptoms (OSDI, p = 0.046), lower TMH, FNIBUT, ANIBUT, and higher bulbar redness scores (all p < 0.05). …”
