The effects of lower eyelid epiblepharon surgery on the meibomian glands

Lower eyelid epiblepharon surgery in pediatric patients does not significantly alter the structure and function of the MG. Additionally, stabilizing the ocular surface through surgical correction may have beneficial effects on blink rate and corneal astigmatism. Although the long-term evaluation would be needed, we suggest that lower eyelid epiblepharon surgery could be performed without worrying about adverse effects on the MG.
