English term

Express glands

English to Spanish Medical Medical (general) Ophthalmology
Scan lids for signs and symptoms. Express glands.

The only times I found express used in a like context was in "express breast milk" which was translated as "extraer la leche materna" but I don't think in this context "extraer" is a good option.
