Patient: Description of the condition (time of onset, main symptoms, hospital visited, etc.): Liao Wenxiong, Ophthalmology Department, Guangdong Second People’s Hospital: The cause of chalazion is an obstruction of the opening of the lid gland, which is somewhat similar to acne, but has a different prognosis due to the special structure of the eye. In the early stages of the disease, a hot compress can be applied, followed by a massage, and the obstruction can be removed as soon as the opening of the lid gland can be opened again. However, if the disease has been present for several weeks, then the lid gland opening is usually completely closed and it is difficult to get better on its own. In this case, surgery is usually required for two reasons: 1) it can be recurrent and 2) it can break outward and cause skin scarring. The surgery is very small and can be done in a few minutes, and you can recover quickly. The surgical incision is inside the eyelid and cannot be seen from the outside (provided it does not occur in the case of 2 above). So don’t worry, the cost is 240 yuan in our hospital (for the surgery only) and should be similar elsewhere as the price is unified by the state.
