To provide a balanced literature review of the studies that have evaluated the effect of contact lenses on meibomian gland (MG) health.

A review of meibomian gland structure, function, and contact lens wear.

Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is the most common underlying cause of dry eye disease (DED). MGD leads to pathological alteration of the composition or quantity of meibum, or both, which subsequently results in tear evaporation and the typical signs and symptoms associated with DED. The LipiFlow Thermal Pulsation System (LipiFlow) is a medical device used to treat MGD in office; however, it is unclear if LipiFlow can outperform other DED treatments.

LipiFlow for the treatment of dry eye disease.

To evaluate the effectiveness and the safety of LipiFlow for treating signs and symptoms of dry eye disease (DED) in adults.
