How to prevent and remove chalazion?

Doctor's Answer

Nonetheless, if the regular use of lid cleaners do not prevent chalazia from recurring, you should consider seeing your ophthalmologist who can help to optimise your eyelid health and hygiene.

Some options he may offer you would be a short course of antibiotic ointment to treat anterior blepharitis, or a short course of antibiotics to address any lipid abnormalities in patients with posterior blepharitis.

These are some of the most common causes for recurrent chalazia. Its useful to consult your ophthalmologist who may be able to shed some light on why you keep experiencing these chalazia even though your eyelids seem clean to the naked eye.
