Report Overview, Link to Full Report & Translations

  The Tear Film & Ocular Surface Society (TFOS) reported the conclusions and recommendations of the International Workshop on Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD).

The MGD Workshop, sponsored by TFOS, was conducted to provide an evidence-based evaluation of meibomian gland structure and function in health and disease. MGD is an extremely important condition, conceivably underestimated, and very likely the most frequent cause of dry eye disease.
The Report required over 2 years to complete and involved the efforts of more than 50 leading clinical and basic research experts from around the world.

The 2007 Report of the International Dry Eye WorkShop (DEWS) represents the work of many contributors over a long period of deliberation and through an iterative process that included collection of data, presentation of summary reports in a conference format, and harmonization of reports by a writing team with interactive commentary by the entire group of participants in an international workshop. The mission of DEWS was to consider current knowledge on all aspects of dry eye disease and to update, in critical and evidence-based fashion, the concepts and information presented in the 1995 National Eye Institute/Industry Workshop (Lemp MA. Report of the National Eye Institute/Industry Workshop on Clinical Trials in Dry Eye. CLAO J 1995;21:221- 32). read more
