Fig 1.
Computer-assisted analysis of meibomian gland (MG) morphology.
The MG length, thickness, and gap are marked as thick yellow line, green line, and red lines, respectively. The photos in the left column show MG loss in the upper eyelids of three eyes of 58.2%, 57.8%, and 67.9%, from top to bottom, respectively, whereas the photos in the right column show MG loss in the lower eyelids of the same eyes of 58.6%, 47.1%, and 64.9%, from top to bottom, respectively.

Percentage of abnormal results of the dry eye diagnostic tests obtained in primary Sjögren´s syndrome group and control group.
TBUT = tear film break-up time; TMH = tear meniscus height; OPI = ocular protection index; MG = meibomian gland. Values marked with * represents statistically significant inter-group differences using χ2 test.
