Got chalazion surgery ten days ago and there’s still a small pink bump. Will it go away? Super painless now.
First picture is now, today, second is pre surgery.
Feeling self conscious but it’s waaay better than before!
Cant see an eye doc yet because I got to surgery in Japan, and I don’t have insurance in the US yet. Just moved a few days ago 🥺
My chalazion recently popped after using a warm compress and massaging it. A hard, waxy lump came out, leaving a small hole on my lower waterline. Will the hole close and heal on its own?
Hi,
I've been having dry eyes for 4 years, and 4 months ago it got very worse after putting on contact lenses for two weeks straight (I know it was dumb), leading to a big inflammation.
Since then, the symptoms increased (blurry vision from time to time, pain when I stop using drops, teary eye when there is wind, and since two months, photophobia), whereas before it was only stinging my eyes a bit.
As well, before the event I was expressing my glands with my fingers and a waxy oil would come out, followed by lots of normal oil. Now, when I do that I only have a tiny bit of wax.
I did a meibography and it shows that my glands are exactly in the same state before and after the event, and they're fine.
What do you guys think of it ? Is there more chance that my glands will produce oil again or that they are just dying ?
(The first two pictures are yesterday’s photo and the last two are taken a week ago)
I have had it for about 2.5 weeks. At first, it was visible on the outside of my eyelid, but about 1.5 weeks ago, I flipped my eyelid and saw this white head. It has been scraping against my scleral lenses when I blink, which I wear because of my nerve damage.
I do Tixel and IPL with gland expression, but when it is not being touched, it does not hurt. With a stye, I know it usually feels sore when you blink or touch it, but mine mainly just feels like it is scraping against my eyelid when I blink. There is no pain unless my optometrist does a tiny extraction in front of it to make a blockage go away. When she touches or extracts around it, it hurts like crazy and very sore.
I know a chalazion is usually painless, but can it still be very painful when it is touched or pressed?
Right now, I am 4 days into doxycycline and Maxitrol ointment, and I am also doing warm compresses, but I still have the white head.
I really want to do my best to avoid surgery because I am prone to keloids, and I am worried that it could interfere with my scleral lenses. I am also worried about damaging my meibomian glands. Mine are already in really bad shape, so I do not want to damage them any further.
Hello everyone,
So I (28F) have this problem that started in 2024, suddenly I got this unknown bump on my eye one day and I went to the doctor she gave me an ointment to apply in my eye but it seemed to make the bump bigger so I stopped, and it eventually went away after 3-4months.
And now I got it again this year and it has lasted for like 6months now and I am being concerned can someone help me and let me know what this is and what should I do for it.
I have tried warm compress and drops it did not work.
