Drawing the Rynerson red line: A new method to identify gland diseases: Evaluating and managing lid margin disease and meibomian gland dysfunction.
- Authors
Mastrota, Katherine
- Abstract
The article discusses a new method called the "Rynerson red line" for identifying meibomian gland inflammation, a condition that can lead to dry eye disease and lid margin disease. The method involves observing a deep ruby redness on the upper eyelid, which corresponds to the tracks of the meibomian glands. The severity of the red line is indicative of the degree of meibomian gland disease. The article also highlights the importance of understanding biofilm formation and developing effective treatments to prevent bacterial-based diseases.
