A chalazion is a common, non-infectious eyelid lump caused by a blocked oil gland. It may start as a small, red bump and become a firm, painless swelling. Other cysts or lumps (such as styes or sebaceous cysts) may also form on the eyelid.
While many resolve on their own, some require medical treatment.
With oculoplastics training from Queen Victoria Hospital, Mr. Sheikh provides:
Calm, reassuring care for patients of all ages
A stye is usually painful and infected. A chalazion is a blocked gland and often painless.
Many cysts resolve with warm compresses. If it persists, a minor procedure may be recommended.
The area is numbed with anaesthetic drops or injection. The procedure is quick and very tolerable.
Most leave no visible scar, especially when performed from the inside of the eyelid.
If you have a lump on your eyelid that’s persistent, growing, or bothersome – book a consultation with Mr. Ijaz Sheikh for safe, professional assessment and management.
