Histopathological examination of upper eyelids: Transverse sections of rabbits in control (a & b), chemical cauterization group (at D30 (c-d) and D90 (e-f) and electrocauterization group (at D30 (g & h) and D90 (i & j)). Appearance of structural changes like epithelial hyperplasia, keratinization, duct dilatation (asterisk) with inspissated secretions and atrophy (black arrow) of the adjacent meibomian gland acini appeared by D30 which got established by D90 in both CC and EC groups. (H and E sections, 2x (left) and 10 x (right) magnification). ED = epidermis, D = dermis, MG = meibomian gland, MD = meibomian duct, EF = eyelash follicle. ED marking represents lid margin aspect of the histology section.
