MATERIAL and METHODS A total of 50 participants (bilaterally 100 glands) comprising 25 females and 25 males, aged between 19 and 58 years, were included in this prospective study. For each participant, we evaluated both lacrimal glands using grayscale and shear wave elastography, and the relationships with sex, age, and body mass index were determined. All lacrimal glands were evaluated by 2 independent observers blinded to each other.
