Chalazion Treatment in Istanbul

Restore Your Eyelid Health & Comfort | Op. Dr. Yıldız Acar Ebcim

What Is Chalazion?

A chalazion is a painless swelling or cyst that develops due to the blockage of oil glands (Meibomian glands) in the eyelid. Although typically harmless, larger chalazions can affect vision and cause cosmetic discomfort.

At Op. Dr. Yıldız Acar Ebcim’s clinic, we provide safe, effective, and modern treatment options to eliminate chalazion and restore eyelid health.

• Chronic Eyelid Infections (e.g. after styes)
• Blepharitis (eyelid inflammation)
• Seborrheic Dermatitis
• Eye Allergies
• Rosacea

Symptoms

• Firm swelling or lump on the eyelid
• Typically painless unless large
• Mild redness around the area
• Possible vision interference
• Sensitivity or discomfort as it grows

Treatment Options
