Refere-se à disfunção de um tipo especial de glândula sebácea que se localiza na margem das pálpebras internamente à placa tarsal, responsável pela produção de meibum, uma substância oleosa que previne a evaporação do filme lacrimal. O meibum evita que a lágrima escorra para as bochechas, aprisionando as lágrimas entre a margem oleosa e o globo ocular, e torna o fechamento palpebral hermético. | |||
