What Is A Chalazion?
How is Chalazia Different to A Stye?
Unlike a stye, which is often painful and caused by infection, a chalazion tends to be painless and develops more slowly.The Link Between Chalazia and Dry Eye
Chalazia and dry eye are linked through meibomian gland dysfunction, where blocked or inflamed glands lead to painless eyelid bumps and disrupt the tear film. Treating only one condition can allow the other to persist, resulting in chronic discomfort. Simultaneously addressing both issues restores gland function, reduces inflammation, and enhances long-term eye comfort and health.Your Local Eye Care and Dry Eye Centre
Starting Care: Typical Treatment Strategies
Warm Compress Therapy
A effective approach that uses gentle heat to loosen clogged oils and promote natural drainage. We guide patients on how to do this safely and effectively at home.
Prescription Medications
We may prescribe anti-inflammatory eye drops or oral antibiotics if there’s associated inflammation or infection. This helps reduce swelling and supports faster healing.

In-Office Treatment for Chalazia
Low Level Light Therapy Treatment
Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT), or photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive treatment using red or near-infrared light to reduce inflammation and promote healing of meibomian glands. It effectively treats eyelid margin diseases like chalazion and meibomian gland dysfunction by:
How It Works
- Reduces swelling and inflammation: LLLT modulates inflammatory cells to reduce local swelling and inflammation’s 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.
Strategies for Optimal Outcomes
IPL & LLLT Combination Therapy for Chalazia
Our clinic offers a cutting-edge, non-surgical approach to managing chalazia by combining Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy with Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT). This powerful combination targets the underlying causes of chalazia—meibomian gland dysfunction and inflammation—without the need for invasive procedures.
How It Works:
- IPL Therapy delivers gentle pulses of light to reduce inflammation, kill bacteria, and stimulate normal oil flow in the eyelid glands.
- LLLT uses low-level red light to promote tissue healing, improve circulation, and enhance gland function.
Benefits of Combined IPL & LLLT Therapy:
- Non-invasive and painless
- Reduces recurrence of chalazia
- Improves meibomian gland health
- Enhances long-term eyelid hygiene
- Suitable for chronic or recurrent cases
This dual-light therapy is especially effective for patients seeking alternatives to surgical removal or those with recurring chalazia.
