Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts. Search for string in vi. Hi to everybody, this is my first post! Well, apparently I am newbie and trying to figure how to search for a string when I am editing a script in vi. How do I keep searching for that string and how can I get out of search if I want to stop the search. Guide me to any doc or manpage.
Medical Definition of MEIBOMIAN GLAND. : one of the long sebaceous glands of the eyelids that discharge a fatty secretion which lubricates the eyelidsâcalled also tarsal gland; see chalazion.
Meibomian gland: A type of gland in the eyelids that makes a lubricant called sebum which is discharged through tiny openings in the edges of the lids. The meibomian glands can become inflamed, a condition termed meibomianitis or meibomitis, due to allergy, acne in adolescence, and rosacea. Chronic inflammation of the meibomian glands leads to cysts, called chalazions. Treatment usually consists of lubricant eye drops, warm compresses to the eyes, and careful cleansing of the eyelids. An antibiotic ointment may be prescribed to apply to the edge of the eyelid.
