Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD)-associated tear film instability leads to hyperosmolarity and inflammation in the eye. MGD is the most frequent cause of evaporative dry eye disease (DED).1 Recent clinical studies demonstrated that propylene glycol/hydroxypropyl-guar (PG-HPG) nanotechnology-based ocular lubricant improved dry eye symptoms, tear film break-up times, and ocular discomfort visual analog scores in DED patients.2 Watch this exclusive video, where Dr. Quresh Maskati discusses the real clinical case of dry eye with severe MGD (evaporative dry eye). He also talks about the various diagnostic tests and treatment approaches for the management of evaporative dry eye.
