What is Chalazion?
A chalazion is a small lump or swelling on the eyelid resulting from a blocked meibomian gland. These glands, located in the eyelids, produce an oily substance that lubricates the eye's surface. When a gland becomes clogged, the trapped oil can cause an inflammatory response that leads to the formation of a chalazion.
While typically painless, chalazia may become tender if they grow larger or become infected. They can lead to localized redness and swelling of the eyelid, and in some cases, may blur vision if the lump presses against the eye.

What is Low-Level Light
Therapy (LLLT)?
LLLT Explained
Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT), also known as photobiomodulation, uses non-invasive red or near-infrared light to reduce inflammation and support tissue healing of the meibomian glands. It has emerged as a safe and effective treatment for treating eyelid margin diseases like chalazion and meibomian gland dysfunction.
How It Works
Reduces swelling and inflammation: LLLT modulates inflammatory cells to reduce local swelling and inflammation around the chalazion and meibomian glands
Unclogs blocked glands by improving circulation: The light melts thick oil, enhances microcirculation and lymphatic drainage, speeding up chalazion resorption.
Promotes healing: LLLT stimulates cellular repair and regeneration, boosting natural healing of the meibomian gland and surrounding tissues.
Improves eyelid health: Enhances oil gland function to prevent future recurrence.
