In recent years, the use of Dupilumab has been increasing, but mild-to-severe conjunctivitis is a common side effect. Our major results demonstrate a loss of meibomian glands at the Keratograph examination: we can assume a reduced meibum secretion and an evaporative dry eye with MGD. We suggest that the inflammation of the ocular surface may involve not only the cornea and the conjunctiva, but also the meibomian glands, and Dupilumab may play a role. However, the frequency of clear conjunctivitis is not as common as reported in the literature.
