A member asked:
Is there a device that enables eye doctors to see masses through the upper eyelid, like chalazions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, a lid speculum: You can evert the eyelid with this and see it. Often it's just visible with the naked eye and palpable. Don't need anything else to view it other than the slit lamp microscopy.
