Purpose: To substantiate the repeated courses of invasive treatment of chronic blepharitis based on morphological and functional studies.
Material And Methods: The study included 45 patients (90 eyes) with chronic mixed blepharitis.
After allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), various eye diseases are detected in 30-60% of patients, with chronic graft-versus-host reaction - in 50-90% of patients. Among the complications, the most frequent is damage to the eye surface and eyelids. The article presents a clinical case of successful minimally invasive treatment of chronic posterior blepharitis in a patient who has undergone allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
