Abnormal keratin production and aggregation at the meibomian gland orifice has been implicated in the pathogenesis of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). Current treatments largely ignore the role of keratin proteins. This review paper synthesizes various publications on hyperkeratinization and its role in MGD pathogenesis and proposes a novel treatment strategy for MGD that involves the use of keratolytic agents commonly used in dermatological treatments.Keywords: meibomian gland disease, MGD, hyperkeratinizationGupta PKPeriman LMLain EDonnenfeld EHovanesian JKim TTrattler WYeu EHolland EDove Medical Pressarticlemeibomian gland diseasemgdhyperkeratinizationOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 15, Pp 4399-4404 (2021) |
