Abstract:

This multicenter retrospective study developed and validated an AI driven model for automated segmentation and quantitative evaluation of meibomian glands using infrared meibography images acquired by the Keratograph 5M device. A total of 1350 infrared meibography images were collected and annotated for model training and validation. The model demonstrated high segmentation performance, with an Intersection over Union of 81.67% (95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 81.03–82.31) and accuracy of 97.49% (95% CI: 97.38–97.62), outperforming conventional algorithms. The agreement was observed between AI-based and manual gland grading (Kappa = 0.93) and gland counting (Spearman r = 0.9334). Repeatability analysis confirmed the model’s stability, and external validation across four independent centers yielded consistent results with AUCs exceeding 0.99. This AI tool offers a standardized, efficient, and objective method for meibography image analysis, which may improve diagnostic precision and assist in the clinical management of meibomian gland dysfunction across diverse populations. © The Author(s) 2025.
