Some precautions should be taken

Some people are particularly prone to chalazions which then tend to re-occur.
The treatment of the chalazion requires softening and emptying the secretions of the inflamed gland, through eye care practiced twice a day: heating the eyelid using a wet and warm compress for 5 minutes or followed by massage of the closed eyelid , with an impregnated wipe intended for this use BLEPHACLEAN® . You should also consult a health professional, who will add an antibiotic and steroid ointment to your eyelid care routine for 10 days.

Who should I consult for a chalazion?

If you have a chalazion for the first time, it is best to have the diagnosis confirmed by a practitioner or by an ophthalmologist. In addition, only a doctor may prescribe the proper treatment. At the cyst stage, it is necessary to remove it surgically – this intervention is carried out under local anaesthetic in a few minutes by an ophthalmologist. All recurrent chalazions require an ophthalmology consultation to search for the cause.
