Overview
Dynamic meibomian imaging (DMI) may be used to detect ductal gland abnormalities, which are common in meibomian gland dysfunction secondary to blepharitis. DMI can also be used to obtain a clear view of the entire everted inferior tarsal plate in blepharitis complicated by dry eye syndrome.

Dynamic Meibomian Imaging
Dynamic meibomian imaging (DMI) may be used to detect ductal gland dilation, dropout, or gland atrophy, which are commonly observed in meibomian gland dysfunction secondary to blepharitis. DMI can also be used to obtain a clear view of the entire everted inferior tarsal plate in blepharitis cases concurrent with dry eye syndrome.[1][2]
