Size?

It seems like these are usually much bigger than styes. It would be good to have more, better pictures, and more information about sizes, how to tell the difference between different kinds of eye bumps. See also [1].-69.87.200.81 13:34, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chalazia will often disappear without further treatment within a few months and virtually all will resorb within two years. And how would you know if they do?

Excision

I've expanded the "Treatment" section and added a picture of my last excision (which I hope doesn't gross everyone out - I rather hope it makes a point of leaving these things to the doctor). The information comes from both of my ophthalmologists, by whom, over the last ten years, I've had about six chalazia removed. So, my "expert" advice to everyone affected by chalazia: Don't try to do it yourself. It's tricky and it's dangerous if you do it yourself. And it's certainly not worth the risk of getting yourself a droopy eyelid for the rest of your life. If you're disciplined enough, you can easily prevent re-occurring chalazia by cleansing your eyelids as part of your morning routine. (Ask me if I am...)

Ohkay; i looked this up to see if i had the symptoms of a stye and freaked my self out by looking at other possibilities that i might have; It is really gross. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.30.70.241 (talk) 21:13, 3 July 2008 (UTC) [reply]

Unexplained deletion of referenced material

This edit, which was tagged "references removed" in the history, seems inappropriate. I am going to restore the content, and delete the unreferenced blindness claim inserted by this editor. Bowcrest (talk) 15:17, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The source does not talk about antibiotics however. Bowcrest (talk) 15:25, 6 September 2009

Hi, My name is Louiza.My daughter had chalazion on the right eye.now it is got off, but the palace where was chalazion didn't remove. it has big red dot.what i must to do.please advice me something.Kazakhstan

Complications

The complications section has several problems. First, the laser comment is inappropriate. There is no talk about lasers elsewhere in the article, and then out of the blue, it mentions the complications of laser surgery. Chalazions are removed by incisions and scraping, not lasers, and the comment on lasers refers to the eye itself, not the lid. I might remove it since it is irrelevant to the article.

A more serious concern is that there is only reference in the whole section, and that link is to an unreliable source. This company sells compresses, but they are not experts in treating this condition, and none of the text is found there. In fact, a number of sections at the "Eyebags" site say things like, "We don't know." So they are only selling the compresses and have no medical knowledge.72.11.53.145 (talk) 21:01, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Emergence

Halyazion emerges after stye, hypothermia, decreasing protective functions of a body, violation of personal hygiene rules, wearing contact lenses, etc. Also, if a person has too oily skin: increased production of this gland (secret) can lead to blockage of tearing outflow.

Here is what has been written about it at the russian wikipedia

non-referenced

User:Doc James, I tried a little cleanup and tagging, but much of this article is still unsourced. 2603:7000:2143:8500:949A:D11A:56E8:1AB8 (talk) 09:19, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
