Morphological variants of meibomian glands: correlation of meibography features with histopathology findings

Purpose This study describes the histopathological features of different morphological variants of human meibomian glands (MGs) seen on infrared imaging. Methods Tarsal plates dissected from seven cadaveric upper eyelids were imaged using infrared meibography, and then studied histopathologically using H&E, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ, meibocyte differentiation marker) and Ki-67 (cellular proliferation marker)...
