Treating meibomian gland dysfunction and glaucoma

80% of glaucoma patients on prostaglandin analogs (PGAs) have Grade 2-3 meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), worsening ocular surface disease (OSD). Benzalkonium chloride (BAK) in chronic drops disrupts tear film stability. Symptoms like redness and tearing can lead to poor medication compliance and glaucoma progression. Innovative non-preserved or non-BAK glaucoma medications, sustained-release drug delivery systems, and non-drug treatments like selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) or minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS) offer solutions. Preservative-free drops and procedural interventions aim to mitigate MGD and OSD effects.
