MEA: User-Friendly Meibography for Everyday Clinical Practice
MEA is paired with a clinician-friendly, cloud-based platform that allows clinicians to capture, store, review, compare, and follow up on images over time, supporting clinical documentation and patient communication. Future platform developments aim to introduce AI-assisted tools for image analysis.
The system has been developed to integrate seamlessly into diverse clinical pathways, including primary care optometry, contact lens clinics, pre-operative cataract pathways, refractive and oculoplastic surgery clinics, glaucoma services, and dedicated dry eye clinics. By focusing on image-based visual documentation, MEA supports clinicians in understanding ocular surface changes over time and embedding meibography into routine clinical workflows.
By making ocular surface imaging easier to capture and explain, MEA also supports patient education, engagement, and continuity of care, helping practices build informed, confident, and satisfied patients.
