Chalazion Treatment at Skouras Eye Cosmetic Centre

Chalazion Treatment Options

At Skouras Eye Cosmetic Centre, we offer a range of effective treatments for chalazion, tailored to the severity and individual needs of our patients.

Warm Compress: One of the simplest and most effective initial treatments involves applying warm compresses to the affected eyelid. This can help soften the hardened oils within the blocked gland, promoting drainage and healing.

Lid Hygiene: Maintaining good eyelid hygiene by gently cleaning the eyelid margins can prevent recurrence and support the healing process. We provide guidance on the best practices for keeping your eyelids clean and healthy.

Medical Treatment: If a chalazion persists, we may recommend medical treatments such as steroid injections, which can reduce inflammation and shrink the chalazion. In cases where secondary infection is a concern, antibiotic ointments may be prescribed to address this.

Surgical Intervention: For larger or persistent chalazia that do not respond to conservative treatments, minor surgical procedures may be necessary. These procedures, typically performed under local anesthesia, involve making a small incision on the inner eyelid to drain the contents of the chalazion or using targeted laser therapy to reduce its size and inflammation.

Importance of Timely Treatment: Timely treatment of a chalazion is crucial to prevent complications. Ignoring a chalazion can lead to infection, although this is rare. Untreated chalazia can also cause vision problems, as large chalazia can press on the eyeball, leading to astigmatism and blurred vision. Moreover, without proper treatment, chalazia can recur, causing ongoing discomfort and potential damage to the eyelid structure. Early intervention by a professional ensures quick recovery and minimizes the risk of complications.
