At Cincinnati Vision Group, we use the latest technology to understand the root causes of dry eye—because effective treatment starts with an accurate diagnosis. One of the most important tools we use is MeiboVue®, a high-resolution meibography system designed to evaluate the health of your meibomian glands.
These tiny oil-producing glands line your upper and lower eyelids. Their job is to release the protective oils that keep your tears from evaporating too quickly.
When these glands become blocked, inflamed, or damaged, it can lead to Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)—the most common cause of dry eye disease.

MeiboVue® captures detailed infrared images of your eyelids, allowing our doctors to:
Visualize the structure of your meibomian glands
(including gland clarity, shape, and any dropout or atrophy)
Assess gland function and oil production
Identify early signs of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)
—often before symptoms become severe
Determine the best treatment plan
such as heat-based therapies, gland expression, or other dry-eye management options
If you’ve been struggling with burning, watering, irritation, or fluctuating vision, MeiboVue® imaging helps us uncover the “why” behind your symptoms—so we can target the problem, not just the discomfort.
