Applications
Although there are some current treatments for MGD, there is also an unmet medical need to find alternative treatments that are effective and without side effects. The invention shows that mesenchymal stem cells, mainly those derived from adipose tissue and used allogeneically, are a safe and feasible therapy for the treatment of MGD. Specifically, it shows that patients with MGD-related disease show clear improvements in ocular pain and epithelial defect, visual acuity, and corneal opacity.
