Answer: Treatment for Chemosis Thank you for the question. Chemosis is the swelling of the conjunctiva (the mucous covering of the eye.) It occurs on occasion with lower eyelid surgery. Treatments often tried are cold compresses, chilled artificial tears and steroid eye drops. If those treatments are not effective then a small incision into the conjunctiva might be helpful. It usually resolves within a few months.

Answer: Chemosis treatment There are many ways to treat chemosis. The simplest way is topical steroid drops for short duration of time. Another effective ways to ask "drain the chemosis" by making a little incision into the conjunctiva to help reduce the swelling. Another way that is a little bit more daunting, it would be to actually suture the outer edge of the upper and lower eyelids together to cover the chemosis to allow it to resolve. Speak with your surgeon concerning the best ways to your chemosis.
