Treatment:

Careful cleansing of the edges of the lids will usually minimize symptoms. Your health care provider may prescribe an antibiotic ointment to be applied to the lid edge.

Any general skin condition such as acne or rosacea may also require treatment.


Expectations (prognosis):

Meibomianitis is not a vision-threatening condition. Most patients do well with treatment.


Calling your health care provider:

Call your health care provider if treatment does not lead to improvement or if styes develop.
