Say Goodbye to Persistent Eyelid Lumps
Chalazion treatment targets stubborn eyelid swellings using tailored solutions like excision, steroid injections, and IPL therapy. Our approach depends on the size, duration, and severity of the lump.
What Is Chalazion Treatment?
Understanding Chalazion Treatment
A chalazion is a benign, non-infectious lump that forms when a gland in the eyelid becomes blocked. While few resolve with warm compresses, the majority persist or grow larger, causing discomfort, cosmetic concerns, or blurred vision. We offer multiple treatment options based on how long the chalazion has been present and how it responds to previous care.
Excision & Drainage
A minor procedure performed under local anaesthetic to remove the chalazion when it’s firm, large, or long-standing.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
Used for recurrent or inflammation-prone eyelids, IPL helps reduce oil gland blockage and prevent recurrence.
Steroid Injection
A quick, non-surgical option that reduces inflammation and shrinks the lump in earlier or less severe cases.
Combination Therapy
For stubborn or recurring chalazia, a combination of treatments is often most effective.
