Hello! I've been prescripted to removing a chalazion on my upper left eye. The clinic is modern and have many lazers and rf-machines, they also promote SMILE technic on VisuMax, but assure me that the chalazion removing shoud be done with the scalpel technic only, not laser, cuz it's more accure for the rest tissue be save, muscles and cartilage as well, and the scar will be the less and better, then after laser.
