Abstract
Purpose. To describe a clinical case of a patient planning keratorefractive surgery, diagnosed with dry eye syndrome (DES) on the background of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). Material and methods. Patient S. applied to the Department of laser refractive surgery of S.N. Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery Federal State Institution. She was 27 years old with a diagnosis of moderate myopia in both eyes for possible keratorefractive surgery. She underwent a standard refractive diagnosis and consultation with an ophthalmic surgeon. Results.During biomicroscopy and standard ophthalmological examinations of the ocular surface, patient S. was found to have DES and MGD. It was decided to conduct a course of conservative treatment to restore the ocular surface. Conclusion. Thus, the proposed utility model for the treatment of MGD and the associated DES makes it possible to normalize the secretory work of these glands and, as a result, stabilize the condition of the tear film, which contributes to the safe planning of keratorefractive surgery. Keywords: dry eye syndrome, dysfunction of the meibomian glands, tear film, keratorefractive surgery
