A chalazion is a lump or slight swelling that develops on the eyelid and is typically painless. It occurs when a meibomian gland, which produces oil in the eyelid, becomes clogged. The oil collection in the blocked gland can become infected, leading to discomfort, swelling, and the formation of granulation tissue or an eyelid abscess.
Chalazion may vary in size and usually grow within a few weeks. Smaller chalazion often resolve on their own, but larger ones can be painful, unsightly, or even obstruct vision by pressing on the eyeball. In some cases, medical intervention or minor surgery is needed to remove the cyst when topical medications or warm compresses are insufficient. Consult our eye specialists for an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan.

Medical intervention or surgical removal may be necessary if the chalazion does not improve, causes significant discomfort, or affects vision. Steroid injections, minor surgery, or warm compresses to drain and remove the chalazion are potential treatments. Consult an eye care surgeon for an accurate diagnosis and recommended therapy.

Chalazion removal surgery, like any medical procedure, carries some risks and potential complications. We encourage patients to voice any concerns and ask questions during the consultation to ensure they are well-informed about the surgery and aftercare.
Chalazion excision is a minor surgical procedure to remove a chalazion from the eyelid. It is recommended when the chalazion is large, causes significant discomfort, or obstructs vision. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia with minimal or no discomfort.
Our surgeons make a small incision, usually about 3 mm, on the inner side of the eyelid or directly over the chalazion. This incision is not visible on your face. Patients can return home immediately after the surgery, which typically takes 15 to 20 minutes. To minimise the risk of complications or infections, we prioritise patient safety and comfort using the latest surgical instruments and sterile practices.
Our post-operative care includes comprehensive instructions on caring for your eyelid during recovery to ensure a seamless and quick healing process. Following chalazion excision, you can expect significant improvement in the appearance and function of your eyelid with our expert treatment.

Chalazion removal is a quick and simple procedure, typically taking 15 to 20 minutes. The duration may vary based on the size and complexity of the chalazion and the patient’s response to the treatment.
Chalazion can recur, especially if underlying causes such as blepharitis or other eyelid inflammations are not addressed. Treating these conditions and maintaining good eyelid hygiene can reduce the risk of recurrence. For chronic cases, consider FDA-approved LipiFlow treatment to prevent recurrent chalazion and styes.
Chalazion removal is not painful, as a local anaesthetic is used to numb the area around the eyelid during the procedure. You may feel slight pressure or discomfort but no extreme pain.
Most patients can resume their regular activities within one or two days after chalazion removal. Following your doctor's post-operative advice, such as avoiding heavy lifting or vigorous activity, is essential for proper recovery.
