Chalazion excision is a common procedure used to treat chalazions, which are benign, painless lumps that form in the eyelid due to blocked oil glands. The procedure involves making a small incision to remove the chalazion and clear the blockage. In some cases, the procedure may be performed under local anesthesia or sedation for patient comfort.

Chalazion excision is typically performed when the chalazion does not resolve with conservative treatments, such as warm compresses or steroid injections. The surgery is minimally invasive, and patients can usually return to their normal activities within a few days.

This procedure helps relieve discomfort, improve the appearance of the eyelid, and prevent further complications, such as infection or vision obstruction.
