They found that tear osmolarity values, OSDI, and Oxford scale scores were significantly higher and Schirmer 1 and T-BUT were lower in ocular rosacea group than the others. They concluded that further studies inspecting meibomian gland dysfunction in rosacea patients are needed.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccessDry EyeOcular SurfaceMeibomian Gland DysfunctionTear OsmolarityOcular RosaceaLetter42640140110.1097/ICL.0000000000000315Q3Q2
