Chalazion Removal (Meibomian Cyst)
A chalazion is a painless or mildly tender lump on the eyelid caused by a blocked oil (meibomian) gland. If conservative treatment such as warm compresses, ointments, or eye drops is not effective, surgical removal of the chalazion may be recommended.
How a Chalazion Develops
A chalazion forms when the duct of a meibomian (oil) gland in the eyelid becomes blocked. Oil that would normally be released onto the surface of the eye starts to accumulate inside the gland. This leads to enlargement of the gland, an inflammatory reaction, and the formation of a firm lump.
If the gland does not clear spontaneously, the chalazion may persist for several weeks or recur repeatedly.
A chalazion is a localised eyelid lump caused by blockage of a meibomian gland. It may be painless or sensitive to touch. Diagnosis is made through a clinical ophthalmological examination.
swelling or a lump on the eyelid
sensation of pressure
mild tenderness or discomfort
redness of the eyelid
in some cases, blurred vision caused by pressure on the cornea
blockage of oil gland ducts
chronic eyelid inflammation (blepharitis)
increased production of skin oil
recurrent chalazia in patients with atopic conditions or rosacea
The procedure is performed either from the inside or outside of the eyelid, depending on the size and location of the chalazion. After a small incision, the contents are removed and the area is cleaned. A compression dressing is applied; stitches are usually not required.
