目的：检验新开发的无创移动笔形睑板记录系统的实用性。方法：本研究评估了一种新开发的无创移动笔形睑板记录系统，该系统包括红外发光二极管作为光源和高灵敏度互补金属氧化物半导体图像相机。图像以数字方式记录。将该系统与之前开发的非接触式红外睑板描记系统的实用性进行比较，对20名健康志愿者（范围为2-91岁）和23名睑板腺功能障碍患者、17名戴隐形眼镜的干眼患者和14名伴有瘙痒的过敏性结膜炎患者进行上下眼睑检查。结果：使用新开发的无创移动笔形检查系统 睑板腺成像系统，在所有年龄组中均获得了清晰的睑板腺图像。两个睑板记录系统获得的图像质量相似。 The quantitative analysis of the images obtained showed no statistically significant difference between the two meibography systems.Conclusions: The newly developed noninvasive mobile pen-shaped meibography system is a useful tool that provides meibomian gland images of the same quality and quantity as the noncontact meibography system equipped with a slit lamp.该新系统方便、适用于各年龄段患者的睑板腺检查。
Purpose: To examine the usefulness of a newly developed noninvasive mobile pen-shaped meibography system.Methods: This study evaluated a newly developed noninvasive mobile pen-shaped meibography system comprising an infrared light-emitting diode as the light source and a highly sensitive complementary metal oxide semiconductor image camera. The images were recorded digitally. The utility of this system was compared with that of the previously developed noncontact infrared meibography system for examination of the upper and lower eyelids in 20 healthy volunteers (range, 2-91 years) and 23 patients with meibomian gland dysfunction, 17 patients with dry eyes who wore contact lenses, and 14 patients with allergic conjunctivitis accompanied by itching.Results: Using the newly developed noninvasive mobile pen-shaped meibography system, clear images of the meibomian glands were obtained in all age groups. The quality of the images obtained was similar between the two meibography systems. The quantitative analysis of the images obtained showed no statistically significant difference between the two meibography systems.Conclusions: The newly developed noninvasive mobile pen-shaped meibography system is a useful tool that provides meibomian gland images of the same quality and quantity as the noncontact meibography system equipped with a slit lamp. This new system is convenient and applicable for examination of meibomian glands in patients of all ages.
