Relevance. Meibomitis is an inflammation of the meibomian gland with involment of the surrounding tissue, one of the causes of wich is a violation of the outflow of fatty secretion eith elements of an attached infection. Purpose: to develop recommendations for the treatment of meibomitis on the basis of the classification proposed by the authors. Materials and methods. We observed 56 patients aged 4 to 68 (average age 33 years), of which 42 patients (75%) were followed up for periods from 3 to 60 days. The patients received basic complex conservative treatment, probing the meibomian gland with an eyelash during the acute inflammation and microabscess stage, in the presence of the chalazion with and without inflammation manifestations, and underwent drainage of the microabscess or the chalazion according to the classification. Results. The proposed algorithm reduced the duration of meibomitis treatment. Relapses were only noted in 2 cases; one case was complicated by corneal erosion caused by hardened oil. No complications associated with the treatment have been noted and nobody was prescribed surgical removal of the chalazion. Conclusion. A meibomitis classification with effective combined treatment has been proposed, which is convenient for practitioners, cost-effective and not requiring special instruments or materials.
