Find out how modern treatments for dry eye, chalazion and blepharitis may support relief and better eye surface health

Who is suitable for treatment?

  • Treatment for dry eye, chalazion or blepharitis may be suitable when symptoms persist despite basic care such as warm compresses, eyelid hygiene or artificial tears.
  • If you have chronic eyelid redness, lumps on the eyelid (chalazion), ongoing dryness, irritation or blurred vision, a specialist assessment is important.
  • The health of your meibomian glands (oil glands of the eyelid), tear film stability, and any eyelid inflammation or infection will be evaluated.
  • Your ophthalmologist will determine if in-office treatments, procedural options or a tailored hygiene regimen are appropriate for your condition.

  • Treatment begins with improving eyelid hygiene: warm compresses, gentle massage and lid scrubs to loosen blocked oil glands.
  • If necessary, in-office procedures such as meibomian gland expression, IPL (intense pulsed light) therapy, lid-margin debridement or chalazion drainage may be recommended.
  • These interventions aim to unblock oil glands, improve tear film stability and reduce eyelid inflammation.
  • Once the gland function and eyelid health improve, symptoms like dryness, irritation and blurry vision may ease.
  • The specialist will tailor the plan to your gland status, tear quality and symptom severity.

  • An advantage of comprehensive eyelid and ocular surface treatment is the potential for improved comfort, clearer vision and reduced reliance on eye drops or frequent home care.
  • By addressing root causes like gland blockage and lid irritation, longer-term relief may be achieved.
  • However, some treatments require ongoing home care (compresses, lid hygiene), repeated in-office sessions and patience as glands regain function.
  • Results vary depending on the condition’s severity, gland damage and how consistent you are with maintenance.
  • A clear discussion about lifestyle commitments helps ensure the treatment aligns with your needs and expectations.

  • Procedural treatments for eyelid and ocular-surface disease are generally low risk, but they do carry potential side effects.
  • Mild discomfort, temporary redness or sensitivity may occur after in-office therapies such as IPL or lid-margin expression.
  • Rarely, eyelid procedures might cause bleeding, infection or scarring around the lid margin.
  • Poor healing is more likely in the presence of systemic conditions like diabetes or blepharitis recurring.
  • Your ophthalmologist will explain all risks, how they minimise them (e.g., antibiotics, sterile technique) and how follow-up care supports safe outcomes.

  • Your journey begins with an eye surface and eyelid assessment.
  • A treatment plan is created based on gland health, tear quality and eyelid status. You’ll start with lid hygiene at home and may attend in-office sessions such as gland expression, IPL or chalazion drainage.
  • After treatment, follow-up visits ensure your glands recover, tears stabilise and comfort improves.
  • Maintenance includes ongoing lid care and monitoring to prevent recurrence.

  • With consistent treatment and good eyelid care, many people experience fewer episodes of irritation, clearer vision and improved tear comfort.
  • Tear film stability may improve and chalazion recurrence may lessen.
  • However, outcomes depend on how advanced the gland damage is, how well you follow home care and whether underlying conditions are managed.
  • Some people may still need ongoing maintenance but often with less intensity.
  • Your ophthalmologist will help you understand realistic expectations based on your eyelid health and vision goals.
