In vivo confocal microscopy images of meibomian gland orifice. The polygon tool was used to trace and measure meibomian gland orifice area (MOA). The orifice (highligted by a circle) was round, and the interior was uniform, presented low reflection in controls (A). However, the orifice was irregular in shape, with obvious blockage of high-reflective materials (arrow) in active Graves’ orbitopathy (B), and partial fibrosis (arrow) around the orifice in inactive Graves’ orbitopathy (C)
