Evaluation of tear film and the morphological changes of meibomian glands in young Asian soft contact lens wearers and non-wearers.

CL wearers showed higher MG dropout and reduced TMH and NITBUT, which likely contributes to severe CL-related dry eye symptoms. CL use may lead to a higher MG dropout rate, and the extent of the MG dropout presumably influences the tear film status in CL wearers.
