I had an eye infection and saw a doctor in October 2017. It took a month to heal with medication. I tried natural treatments for the chalazions but they did not go away on their own. I went to an eye doctor who performed a chalazion removal surgery to drain the biggest one. After the surgery my eye has been swollen for months. The follow up eye doctor who told me I have an eye infection and prescribed me anti-biotics and to apply warm compress. Whats wrong with my eye? Why won't it heal?
