Abstract
PURPOSE: This study enhances Meibomian gland (MG) infrared image analysis in dry eye (DE) research through artificial intelligence (AI). It is comprised of two main stages: automated eyelid detection and tarsal plate segmentation to standardize meibography image analysis. The goal is to address limitations of existing assessment methods, bridge the curated and real-world dataset gap, and standardize MG image analysis.
