Question 1

what is the treatment for chalazion?

Accepted Answer

Warm compresses: First step is to apply heat to your eyelid to melt the blockage causing the chalazion. The best way is to boil an egg, wrap it in cloth and put it over the eye, 10 min on, 10 min off. You can also microwave a sock with rice in it and use it. Just make sure whatever you use stays hot for 10 minutes. If that doesn't work, have your eye doc drain it.

Question 2

what is the treatment for chalazion? and what is the cost for surgery ?

Accepted Answer

Warm compresses/surg: It can be treated consevatively by warm compresses at home and if that fails, surgery.The cost varies from surgeon to surgeon and where you are located
it is a minor outpatient surgey and done under local anesthesia and it can cost anywhere from 100 to 1000 dollars.

Question 3

is there a treatment for chalazion for a 3 year old?

Accepted Answer

Warm compresses: The initial rx for this process is warm compresses with or without antibiotic eye drops. If the inflamed gland does not respond over time the area can be incised from the inside surface of the eyelid & the material removed, followed by a week or so of eye drops.

Question 4

after my stye went away i still had a bump, googled it & found out it is a chalazion but now my eyelid is way darker than the other. why? treatment?

Accepted Answer

May fade with time: A chalazion is basically a 'blocked up' oil gland on the eyelid that results in inflammation and swelling. They are almost never infected. They usually resolve with frequent warm compresses but sometimes the residual material remains as a small bump. I have not come across eyelid darkening after resolution of a chalazion, but i imagine it is possible. It will likely fade with time.

Accepted Answer

Patients : Patients often get put on antibiotics for a chalazion and this is rarely needed because this is not an infection.  It is an inflammation and topical anti-inflammatories are helpful.  I often use ophthlmic steroids for this condition.  Unfortunately, these sometimes progress to the point that they need to be surgically drained in the office.

Question 7

are there any home remedies for chalazions?

Accepted Answer

Warm compresses,time: It must be realized that chalazions are sterile inflammations, not infections. Most will resolve themselves with time and the use of warm compresses at home, which can speed up the resolution. If they do not resolve in a reasonable period of time, or if they are huge, an ophthalmologist may incise and drain them for immediate resolution.

Question 8

what are the homeopathic remedies for chalazions?

Accepted Answer

Warm compresses: A "stye, " a.K.A. Hordeolum, is a plugged oil gland in the eyelid, sort of like a pimple. Most of the time, it can be effectively treated with warm compresses. These loosen the oils and allow them to be expressed from the lid. If persistent, a hordeolum can become a chalazion, which often needs either a steroid injection or surgical excision. See an ophthalmologist to be sure.

Question 9

my 1 year old son is having redness on his eye. im not sure is it a stye or a chalazion, he has it since 17 march and still not going away now. any home remedies for it? and may i know when its going away?

Accepted Answer

: The treatment for both is using warm compresses. They will resolve on their own with a few weeks.

Question 10

i have a swollen lower eyelid. it's slightly puffy red, itchy. hurts to blink. no pink eye, no discharge. i'm thinking it's a chalazion. how long should i do home remedies before i go to the eye doctor to get assest?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, it could be chalazion or stye. Chalazion is usually on the upper lid. Yes, you just do the home remedies and if symptoms are not subsided within 5-7 days then you should see an ophthalmologist who will drain the cyst with local anesthetic. Remember if the inflammation comes down by itself, the cyst may be still there without symptom. Good luck.
