Abstract in brief

The study found that Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) and Dry Eye (DE) are both common among residents of Takushima Island in Japan, with about 33% prevalence for each and a 12.9% overlap in individuals affected by both.
MGD was more associated with male sex, older age, and intake of lipid-lowering agents, while DE was linked to female sex, contact lens wear, conjunctivochalasis, and lid margin abnormalities, indicating different risk factors and potentially different underlying causes.
Despite sharing similar symptoms, the study's analysis suggests that MGD and DE have distinct pathogenesis, with factors influencing each condition being relatively independent, highlighting that they are related but different eye issues.]
