i had one on my right upper eye lid, it has been a week. I've undergone three I&C for chalazion for my left eye so I know how it works, but this time, I don't want to have another one if it will be gone on its own. I have chalazion in my upper eye lid. I just treat it warm compress and hopes it will be gone on its own since i do not want to undergo another I&C. I also have dry eyes, will using artificial tears have an effect on my chalazion now? Do you think it's okay to use it while i have chalazion?
Answer: Chalazia can resolve with non-surgical treatment
The first line of treatment of chalazia is often warm compresses several x daily for a couple weeks. Many specialists also recommend an eyedrop or ointment with a steroid to be used for 2 or 3 weeks. When such conservative measures fail, lancing the chalzion is usually the next step.

CONTACT NOW Answer: How to get rid of a chalazion I'm sorry you're having this problem with the chalazion. If it's recurrent, you may want to ask your plastic surgeon to biopsy it to make sure it's not something more worrisome. A Chalazion can be caused by blockage of one of the sweat glands in the eyelid which produces oil. Warm compresses are an easy way to reduce blockage of these glands but the key is to perform the warm compresses correctly. My favorite is the Warm Spoon Method. Check it out below! The Hot Spoon Method for Treating a Chalazion: The heat will help to relieve pain and encourage the blockage to pass through the gland. Step 1. Pad the end of a wooden kitchen spoon with an absorbent material such as gauze.Step 2. Dip the spoon into a bowl of steaming water.Step 3. Keeping the eye closed, raise the padded end to the affected eye.Step 4. As the spoon cools, redip it in the steaming warm water and repeat.Step 5. Repeat for 10 minutes and do this 3 times daily.

Answer: When to remove eyelid stye, chalazion? Most chalazions go away on their own, however, that usually happens within the first few hours to days. The longer they stay, the larger they are, the less chance they will go away. I had my own eyelid chalazion drained (by another surgeon) so it is common and safe when necessary.

Answer: Can Chalazion Be Gone on Its Own? Chalazion can definitely be managed without surgery. A combination of a spoon warmed in hot water and soft massage is enough in most cases. You should be safe with artificial tears, but check you don't have an allergy to them before use. if this fails to settle things down, you may need surgical treatment again - sorry!

Answer: Medical and Surgical Treatment Of Chalazions A chalazion is actually a meibomian cyst caused by the blockage of a meibomian gland in the upper or lower eyelid. This is also the reason why patients with chalazions frequently suffer from symptoms of dry eyes. There is no contraindication to using natural tears when a patient has a chalazion. Chalazions can be treated conservatively with warm compresses, topical antibiotic ointment and antibiotic eye drops that contain steroids. In some cases, an injection of dilute kenalog can help as well. While chalazions can resolve spontaneously, there is also a high incidence of recurrence. In these cases, surgical excision may be indicated.
