Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The length of meibomian glands after the treatment. [up to 2 months]
Length in millimeters.
- The area of meibomian glands after the treatment. [up to 2 months]
Area in millimeters^2.
- The percentage of meibomian glands after the treatment. [up to 2 months]
Percentage of meibomian glands in %(area of meibomian glands (mm^2) and area of palpebral conjunctiva (mm^2) will be combined to report percentage of meibomian glands in %) are used to assess this outcome measure.
