Chalazion treatment is a procedure that is designed
to treat a small, slow-growing lump or cyst that develops within the eyelid. A
chalazion can develop on the upper or lower eyelid, and in some cases, it may
disappear without treatment. Not every chalazion is painful, but sometimes it
is treated so as to improve the appearance of the eye(s). This condition can
either be treated surgically or using a corticosteroid injection. The choice of
treatment depends on how severe and persistent chalazion is.

This surgery is usually performed in the morning or afternoon, so we always recommend that you arrive in Turkey a day before the surgery –so that you can have enough time to rest.
Final Consultation with Your Surgeon
When you arrive at the clinic, you will have a face-to-face consultation with your chalazion treatment. Part of the discussions will be about your expectations and goals.
Medical Examinations
Before the surgery commences, your surgeon will conduct physical and blood tests to make sure that you are in a good health state. Every patient is required to undergo medical tests so as to ensure that nothing can hinder the success of the surgery.
Preparation for Surgery
To
make you feel comfortable during the surgery, your surgeon will give you local
anesthesia. If you have Trypanophobia (fear of needles), you should let us know
so that we can offer you doctors who can give you anesthesia without using
needles.
