What is a Chalazion?
A chalazion is a small, painless lump or swelling on your eyelid. This is mainly due to a blockage of your Meibomian gland. This causes the trapped oil to harden into a lump that can become inflamed or even infected.
Although close to a stye, chalazion is usually non-infectious and forms deeper into the eyelid. However, the swelling may sometimes push on the eyeball, causing blurred vision or discomfort.
Symptoms of Chalazion
Recognizing chalazion symptoms early can prevent complications. Common signs include:
- A painless lump on the upper or lower eyelid
- Mild tenderness or swelling
- Redness in or around the eyelid
- Increased tearing
- Blurry vision if the lump presses against the eye
- Occasional discomfort when blinking
If the chalazion becomes secondarily infected, it may become red, painful, and warm to the touch.
Causes of Chalazion
A chalazion is created due to the blockage of a meibomian gland, which means oil is blocked from the tear film. When the oil remains within, it becomes an irritant and causes inflammation and swelling.

Chalazion Surgery Overview
Chalazion surgery involves:
- Local anaesthesia is applied to numb the eyelid.
- A small incision is made on the inner side of the eyelid (leaving no visible scar).
- The contents of the chalazion are carefully drained and removed.
- Antibiotic ointment is applied to prevent infection.
As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications associated with chalazion surgery. These may include infection, bleeding, or a rare chance of recurrence. However, these risks are minimized by Dr. Ola Alsaed’s expertise and modern surgical techniques.

Dr. Ola would usually first recommend conservative management consisting of the following:
- Warm compresses

Understanding the risk factors is essential for prevention and early treatment.
When is Surgery Needed?
Some chalazion cases dissolve if only warm compresses and eyelid cleaning are applied. Surgery, however, is done to:
- When the swelling lasts longer than 4-6 weeks
- When antibiotic drops or steroid injections for treatment fail
- When the chalazion is big and alters vision or becomes an area of cosmetic concern
- When a chalazion is infected or recurrent
In contrast, surgical removal is an outpatient minor procedure commonly done under local anaesthesia.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Does chalazion surgery hurt?
Usually, chalazion surgery is painless as it’s done under local anaesthesia. After surgery, mild stinging may be present, but it quickly resolves.
Q: How long does it take for the area to heal after chalazion removal?
A: Most patients heal within 1 week. Swelling and bruising may take a few days to resolve.
Q: Does chalazion recur after surgery?
A: Surgery removes the present lump, but if the underlying causes remain, the lump may recur. Doing eyelid hygiene properly will significantly reduce the chance of recurrence, along with regular check-ups.
Q: Are there any visible scars after chalazion surgery?
A: None visible because Dr. Ola does the surgery internally through the eyelid.
Q: Can chalazion surgery be performed on children?
A: Yes, if necessary. However, it would be advisable to use general anaesthesia for younger children, and Dr Ola will decide on the safest option.
