Suggest Treatment For Chalazion On The Eye
Hi, I have had a chalazion on my eye for about two weeks now, and it hurts. The other ones I have had previously never hurt, and this one is so large it is blocking a very good part of my vision. I was told that putting ice on it would help it to not swell as much, but it is not helping and tea bags will not work either. What should I do?

Hi welcome to the health care magic
Here you should consult ophthalmologist for examination of lesion and accordingly treatment plan....
For chalazion initially topical antibiotic ointment and topical antibiotic drops can be prescribed
If lesion not resolves than intralesional steroid treatment done
If all medical management fails than surgical excision under local anesthesia can be done
Take care
Hope this will help you
