Meibography is a diagnostic imaging technique used to visualize the meibomian glands located in the tarsal plates of the eyelids. These glands are responsible for producing meibum, an oily substance that is a crucial component of the tear film, helping to reduce tear evaporation and maintain ocular surface health. The procedure typically involves using specialized cameras or imaging systems, such as infrared or other forms of light, to capture images of the meibomian glands.
