A chalazion is a blockage of a deep oil gland in your eyelid. The oil inside has hardened, like cold butter. Your warm washcloth at home simply can't get hot enough for long enough to melt this stubborn blockage.
The traditional method is "Incision & Drainage." This is a surgical procedure that involves:
Our advanced **Thermal Expression Procedure** is non-surgical and designed for your comfort:
Our entire process is designed to be quick, comfortable, and highly effective.
First, we apply precise, therapeutic heat directly to the blocked gland. This heat comfortably and safely liquefies the hard, trapped oil—something a home compress can't do.
Once the blockage is fully melted, Dr. Khanna performs a gentle, manual extraction of the gland. This completely clears the contents without any cutting, removing the "lump" immediately.
The bump is instantly smaller, and the pressure is gone. The gland can now heal naturally. The entire in-office procedure is fast, and you can return to your day right after.
No. We use powerful anesthetic (numbing) eye drops to ensure you are completely comfortable. Most patients report feeling only a sense of warmth and light pressure, but no pain.
The entire in-office procedure is very quick, typically taking only 15-20 minutes from start to finish.
No. You can drive yourself home and return to work or your normal activities the same day. Your eyelid may be slightly red or swollen for a day or two, but this is minor.
While this procedure effectively clears the *current* blockage, chalazia are often a sign of an underlying condition called Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) or Blepharitis. We will also assess your overall eyelid health to create a plan to prevent new ones from forming.
In many cases, the evaluation and treatment of a chalazion is considered medically necessary and is covered by PPO insurance plans. Our team will verify your benefits for you during your consultation.
