Treatment options

In most cases, you will be advised to allow a chalazion to recede on its own and sometimes given medication to prevent one from coming back. However, if they cause continued discomfort and vision loss without showing signs of going away, surgery may be recommended. You may also prefer to have surgery for aesthetic reasons.

The procedure to remove a chalazion involves draining its contents via a small incision within the eyelid. This is carried out under local anesthetic and does not take long.
