Baseline Meibography: A New Norm for Modern Practice?
Feb 17, 2026
Meibography isn’t just a dry eye add-on — it’s a powerful baseline tool. High-definition imaging supports early detection, clinical documentation, and long-term monitoring, particularly in patients exposed to modern risk factors such as prolonged screen work, contact lens wear, hormonal changes, chronic topical therapy, or those undergoing pre-operative assessment for refractive / cataract surgery.

The MEA system enables reliable access to the upper eyelid, allowing acquisition of high-quality images with excellent consistency and repeatability in routine clinical practice.
