Eye Swelling Problem At Upper EyeLid
Hello Sir/Ma'am,
In my left eye's upper lid there is a swelling. It is for approx 4 months but still its not gone As shown in attached screenshot.
I went through ophthalmologist consultation/oculoplasty at Dr. Shroff charity eye hospital, dariyaganj, New Delhi.
She has given me medicine for 5 days as shown in attached screenshot. She told me that this is "Chalazion". After 1 week I went again to visit the Dr. Now she has told me that we have to remove it by surgery bcoz it is for approx 4 month, she told we will do "Incision Biopsy" .
Please suggest whether I should go for some other Dr. Consultation?
is it possible to remove it withouts surgery, through medicine only?
What is the advantage and disadvantage of this surgery?
Note: I did not feel any pain/irritation/redness till now.
Thank a lot in advance for helping me in this.
At present it seems to be infected ....so continue with antibiotic eye ointment, hot compresses and yes chalazion does require incision and curretage but only after taking care of the infection.its a small procedure, done on opd basis , no need to worry but yes there are chances of recurrence .....

Mostly, in the initial phase, it responds with medication, if it is not improving, better to go for the procedure.
It is simple procedure , no disadvantage, small chance that sometimes ,may recur.
But can be dealt with, as and when.
