Surgery To Remove Eyelid Cysts (Chalazion)
Chalazion treatment involves a little operation called Incision & Curettage (I+C) which drains the cyst and allows the eye to settle.

Summary
I+C of a chalazion is a relatively quick procedure (approx 10 minutes) that is carried out under local anaesthetic. The contents of the cyst are drained, allowing the eyelid lump to resolve.
The Process
The procedure will be explained by your consultant and you will be asked to sign a consent form. Surgery will be carried out in the operating theatre suite.
An anaesthetic drop will numb the surface of the eye. The eyelid will be cleaned and then injected with local anaesthetic.
A small clamp is placed over the cyst and the eyelid everted to show the cyst from the inside.
A small incision is made to allow the contents of the cyst to be removed.
Antibiotic cream is applied and the eyelid is covered with a dressing which should stay in place for 4 hours. You will be given instructions and an antibiotic ointment to take home. The eyelid will have some bruising and swelling and will take a week or two to settle.

First class recommendation for My Eye Clinic and in particular Andrew Peel who was professional, knowledgeable very thorough. A pleasure to deal with!
So helpful and reassuring. My site is amazing. The whole process was so smooth, I understood everything that I was told and knew of any risks and potential side effects before agreeing to anything. Couldn't be happier.
I recently had permanent lens procedure carried out by Mr Ghosh. Having glasses as a child and contact lenses for many years, this has been an absolute revelation for me. Mr Ghosh was absolutely brilliant and very professional from the start. All the staff are lovely and especially like to thank Dianne, Anita and the team. This has changed my life for the better thanks.
Beautiful clinic, really nice atmosphere, prompt service and really friendly and professional staff. Fernando was particularly great!I would definitely recommend.
Excellent care, all staff very courteous and helpful. YAG surgery clearly explained to me by Mr Morgan, who did a brilliant job. I'd highly recommend this clinic.
I visited the My Hearing Clinic knowing I needed a hearing assessment but thinking it was just a build up of wax. It came as a shock that I heard a hearing loss which needed addressing. The service I received from Andrew was outstanding! He explained my hearing loss and went through all my options. He recognised that it was a lot of information to take in so made a follow up appointment, giving me sufficient time to think about what I wanted to do. From start to finish the service has been excellent, efficient, professional and friendly from the moment you walk through the door and meet Lee. The clinic is well located, parking on site, high standard of cleanliness. Definitely a recommendation from me. Thank you!
