Chalazion
Leading Clinic for Safe and Effective Chalazion Treatment
A chalazion is one of the most common types of eyelid lumps. It forms when a small oil gland in the eyelid, called the meibomian gland, becomes blocked, leading to localised swelling. While usually benign and painless, a chalazion can cause cosmetic concern, discomfort, or interfere with vision if it becomes large or inflamed.
Our oculoplastic specialists can assess, diagnose, and treat chalazion, offering both reassurance and surgical removal if needed.
Find out if your chalazion needs treatment by booking a specialist consultation today.
Although a chalazion may resolve on its own, persistent or recurring lumps can become irritating.
They may also press against the surface of the eye and cause blurred vision or a gritty sensation. In most cases, they can be removed under local anaesthetic.
It’s important to differentiate a chalazion from other causes of eyelid swelling, including more serious conditions such as skin cancers or infections. During your consultation, our team will examine the cyst carefully and, if necessary, arrange for a biopsy.
