ABSTRACT
·As a non - invasive ocular imaging tool, in vivo confocal microscopy(IVCM) provides micro-structural information of cornea, conjunctiva and meibomian glands at the cellular level to display their microscopic structure features. IVCM supplies a unique advantage to clinical applications and research in ocular surface. Recently, application of IVCM has progressively extended to the research area on meibomian gland dysfunction ( MGD) and on other diseases about meibomian gland. Thus, this paper aims to summarize the current knowledge about the role of IVCM in the assessment of meibomian glands.
