The positive correlation between the LLT and expressible meibomian glands found in this study suggests a higher probability of MGD in patients with a low LLT. This automated assessment of the LLT might be a suitable screening test for detecting MGD. However, further prospective studies are needed to confirm these results and to identify potential confounders.
