Abstract:
The surgical treatment of chalazia is one of the most common minor operations performed in ophthalmology. The conventional approach involves injection of local anesthetic, clamping, incision of the palpebral conjunctiva with a scalpel blade, and curettage of the contents. We describe a simplified approach, which in addition to reducing costs, may also minimize scarring of the palpebral conjunctiva.
