A member asked:
What's the worst that can happen if the eye chalazion is not removed? can it go away on its own?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you do warm: compresses long enough, often enough when it's not enlarged to a point of needing surgical drainage, you can reverse it. Overall, it means you have a long standing problem with eye dryness, not blinking enough, blepharitis, and need to see your eye doctor regularly to get this under control better. So, it's best to work with your eye doctor on this to remedy together.
