Chalazion Scar Tissue. Will a steroid or Kenalog shot do the trick? (photos)

July 11, 2016
Asked By:c47v3770 in Houston, TX

So far, I've been to one ophthalmologist who recommended surgery. Based on some research, it looks like many times surgery is recommended because it's more profitable. I'm wondering if a Kenalog injection is what I need instead? I'm trying to leave surgery as last resort. Mainly because I don't want to be two weeks without exercise! Thanks four help/feedback

Answer: If you are seeing a surgeon who only operates on these, you might need a different doctor.
