CONCLUSION: Morphological changes, in addition to Meibomian glands dropout were significant in severe OSAS patients as demonstrated objectively with meibography. Schirmer 1 and t-BUT tests were in favor of evaporative type dry eye syndrome, which also support Meibomian gland alterations in severe OSAS patients.
