Abstract Content: For Several Decades, Blephariti, Dry Eye Disease And Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) Have Been Thought To Be Three Distinct Entities, And Evaporative Dry Eye Distinct From Aqueous Insufficiency [1]. To Further Muddy The Discussion, Subtle Distinctions Separate Posterior Blepharitis And Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) [2]. Is It Possible That All These Diseases Are Really Linked By The Same Pathogenic Mechanism? A New Theory Suggests That These Diseases Are All Connected By A Single Concept, Namely Bacterial Biofilm Formation [3] And That A New Term, Dry Eye Blepharitis Syndrome (DEBS) Would Be More Accurate And More Appropriate Terminology. This Term Explains The Relationship Between Bacterial Biofilm Formation On The Eyelid Margin And Connects Blepharitis, Dry Eye And MGD As Linear Changes Related To Biofilm Maturation And Migration [4].
