Clinical Trial Description

Meibomian gland dysfunction is a common eye disease that may be asymptomatic or painful and itchy in the early stages, requiring early daily care and medication. And meibomian gland massage is a very important step in the treatment. Meibomian gland massage is massaging along the direction of meibomian gland drainage to push out secretions that cannot be discharged by themselves, improve meibomian gland function, and delay the development of meibomian gland dysfunction.Meibomian gland dysfunction is a common eye disease that may be asymptomatic or painful and itchy in the early stages, requiring early daily care and medication.
