Chalazion Removal
Consultant-led eye care using modern diagnostic and surgical techniques.
BOOK A CONSULTATION MEET OUR SURGEONSWhat is Chalazion Removal?
A chalazion is a painless lump that develops on the eyelid when one of the small oil-producing glands becomes blocked. While many chalazia resolve naturally, larger or persistent lumps can become uncomfortable, affect vision, or cause cosmetic concerns.
Chalazion Removal is a minor surgical procedure that removes the blocked gland and allows the eyelid to heal. The treatment is performed under local anaesthetic, is quick and effective, and usually takes less than 30 minutes. In some cases, your consultant may recommend conservative treatment such as warm compresses before considering surgery.
At Battersea Hospital, our experienced ophthalmologists provide expert assessment and personalised treatment to restore eyelid comfort, function, and appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know.
Appointments and Consultations
What is a chalazion?
A chalazion is a lump that forms on the eyelid when one of the oil-producing glands becomes blocked. It is usually painless and develops gradually.
Will a chalazion go away on its own?
Many small chalazia resolve with warm compresses and good eyelid hygiene. If the lump persists or continues to grow, minor surgery may be recommended.
Is Chalazion Removal painful?
No. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so the eyelid is fully numbed. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after treatment.
Will there be a scar?
The incision is usually made on the inside of the eyelid whenever possible, meaning there is typically little to no visible scarring.
Can a chalazion come back?
While removal is highly effective, a new chalazion can occasionally develop if another oil gland becomes blocked. Good eyelid hygiene may help reduce the risk of recurrence.
