It is important to note that these signs are not definitive indicators of cataracts or the need for surgery. After a thorough eye examination and the appropriate diagnostic tests, a qualified eye care professional at The Harley Street Eye Centre can determine a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, if required.
A Chalazion is an infected cyst in the eyelid that has resisted treatment and has become a hardened cyst in your eyelid. More often than not such eyelid chalazion is accompanied by eyelid swelling.
Usually, after repeated treatment attempts the quickest way to treat chalazion would be to contact The Harley Street Eye Centre to discuss our non-invasive and invasive treatments to address the potential causes of a recurring chalazion.
At the Harley Street Eye Centre, we have helped thousands of patients live independent lives free of reading glasses.

A chalazion, a condition characterized by a blocked gland in the eyelid, can either be infected or non-infected. It often manifests alongside other medical conditions such as eyelid blepharitis and dry eye. The formation of a chalazion is attributed to the blockage of a meibomian gland, which is responsible for producing an oily substance that lubricates the eye.
To effectively address a chalazion, the most expedient approach involves direct removal of the affected gland. This procedure, performed by a healthcare professional, typically entails a minor surgical intervention. Alternatively, in the early stages of a chalazion's development, the application of antibiotic ointments can assist in reducing inflammation and preventing infection.
However, it is crucial to note that relying solely on antibiotic application without direct removal may not always yield satisfactory results.

One of the primary concerns many individuals have when considering a chalazion removal procedure is the level of discomfort or pain involved. We want to assure you that during the procedure itself, you won't feel any pain. Our skilled healthcare professionals take every precaution to ensure your comfort throughout the entire process.
While the procedure itself is typically painless, it is not uncommon to experience some mild discomfort or soreness in the eyelids in the days following the treatment. This can be attributed to the manipulation of the eyelid and the removal of the chalazion. However, it's important to note that the level of discomfort varies from person to person.
We understand that your comfort is of utmost importance, and we provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to alleviate any post-procedural discomfort you may experience. Most individuals find relief by using over-the-counter pain medication, which can effectively manage any soreness or discomfort in the treated area. Our healthcare professionals will guide you on suitable pain relief options and recommend the most appropriate over-the-counter medications to help you find relief.
Eyelid hygiene is an important factor in the prevention of chalazia (plural of chalazion), which are small, painless bumps that appear on the eyelid and are caused by a blockage in one of the oil glands in the eyelid. Proper eyelid hygiene can help to prevent chalazia by removing excess oil and debris from the eyelids and keeping them clean.
Maintaining good eyelid hygiene is an important part of preventing chalazia and other eye problems. If you are concerned about your risk for chalazia or have any other eye problems, feel free to get in touch with us for a FREE phone assessment and discussion about your treatment options.
Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy has emerged as a valuable treatment option not only for managing Dry Eye symptoms but also for addressing chalazion, particularly in specific cases where a surgical intervention may not be feasible or appropriate. IPL therapy utilizes advanced light-based technology to target and improve various eye conditions, including chalazion.
Traditionally, chalazion removal has predominantly been achieved through surgical means. However, there are instances where surgical intervention may pose challenges, such as when dealing with chalazion in difficult-to-reach areas or in cases involving pediatric patients. In these situations, a nonsurgical approach utilizing IPL therapy has gained recognition and become an alternative treatment option.

The common treatment options for chalazion include warm compresses, eyelid massages, prescription eye drops or ointments, steroid injections, and in some cases, surgical removal.
The healing time for a chalazion can vary, but it typically takes a few weeks to a couple of months for it to resolve completely.
Chalazion treatment is usually not painful. The procedures are performed under local anesthesia, ensuring your comfort during the process.
The risks and complications associated with chalazion treatment are generally minimal. However, potential risks may include infection, bleeding, scarring, or recurrence of the chalazion.
In most cases, a single treatment session is sufficient for chalazion removal. However, in certain situations, such as larger or more persistent chalazions, multiple sessions or a combination of treatments may be required.
Chalazions can potentially recur even after successful treatment. It's important to maintain good eyelid hygiene and promptly address any underlying conditions, such as blepharitis or dry eye, to minimize the risk of recurrence.
The cost of chalazion treatment can vary depending on factors such as the specific procedure performed, healthcare provider fees, geographic location, and insurance coverage. It is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider or insurance provider to determine the cost implications.
The recovery period after chalazion treatment is typically short. You may experience some swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort, but these symptoms should subside within a few days to a week.
Following chalazion treatment, it is recommended to avoid rubbing or touching the treated area, keep the eyelids clean, and adhere to any specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider. You may also be advised to temporarily avoid wearing contact lenses or applying eye makeup.
It is generally safe to resume regular activities after chalazion treatment, but it is advisable to follow the guidance of your healthcare provider. They may recommend temporarily avoiding certain activities, such as wearing eye makeup or participating in contact sports, to minimize the risk of infection or irritation.
