I have two chalazion’s on my right eyelid and I have been treated with steroid injections. Unfortunately, the size of chalazion has not decreased and the size is compressing my eye, and blurring my vision.

A chalazion, also known as a Meibomian gland lipogranuloma, is a cyst in the eyelid that is caused by inflammation of the meibomian gland, usually on the upper eyelid. Chalazions differ from hordeolums in that they are usually painless apart from the tenderness caused when they swell up. A chalazion may eventually disappear on its own after a few months, though more often than not, some treatment is necessary.\n\nSigns and symptoms\nPainful swelling on the eyelid \nEyelid tenderness \nSensitivity to light \nIncreased tearing \n\nTreatment\n\nThe primary treatment is application of warm compresses for 10 - 20 minutes at least 4 times a day. This may soften the hardened oils blocking the duct and promote drainage and healing.\n\nTopical antibiotic eye drops or ointment (eg chloramphenicol or fusidic acid) are sometimes used for the initial acute infection, but are otherwise of little value in treating a chalazion. Chalazia will often disappear without further treatment within a month or so.\n\nIf they continue to enlarge or fail to settle within a few months, they may be surgically removed using local anesthesia. This is usually done from underneath the eyelid to avoid a scar on the skin. Rarely chalazia may reoccur and these will be biopsied to help rule out tumors.\n\n\nComplications\n\nA large chalazion can cause astigmatism due to pressure on the cornea. This will resolve with resolution of the chalazion.\n\n\nPrevention\n\nProper cleansing of the eyelid may prevent recurrences in people prone to chalazia. Cleaning the eyelash area with diluted baby shampoo will help reduce clogging of the ducts.

Warm compresses. Get a wash cloth and make it wet with very warm water and just put it over your eye. It will help drain it

It definitely sounds like your allergies are affecting your eyes.  You should talk to your eye doctor about your options (and to make sure that there really is a link between your allergies and your eye problems).  Your eye doctor can recommend an eye drop (most likely over-the-counter) that will work the best for your particular situation.

Steroids can certainly help reduce inflammation, and since the redness of acne is usually caused by irritation and inflammation, I suppose it could help.  However, topical steroids should be used sparingly - they have a tendency to "thin" out your skin.  You should talk to your doctor before using any type of medication.

I'm going to guess a stye.  Use warm compresses on the affected eye and wash your hands constantly.  Styes are very contagious.  Contact your eye doctor.  He/She may prescribe a special eye drop for this.

No. You cannot see a difference such as that by just looking but will rather see it through special doctor's equipment. I have a stigmatism in my left eye which means that it is rugby ball shaped and a little bit bigger than my right eye. Only the people I tell know about it and only my optometrist has seen it (with the use of his equipment obviously).

You also may want to ask the optometrist - I have astigmatism and when I went in for new contacts 6 months after my last eye exam, I found out my eye had changed shape quite a bit, changing my prescription for the toric lense (my weights wouldn't hold in the right place).  The blurriness has to be the weight swinging wrongly.  \n\nYou know, it could also be that the company screwed up on your order - maybe give them a call.

I live in Arizona, and never had real problems with my contacts till I moved here.  Now I can't wear contacts at all, they irritate my eyes.  I went to the optometrist and asked what the heck is wrong with me and they said it was low tear production.  Well, to make a long story short, I don't wear contacts anymore but still have dry eye problems, especially in the morning.  In my opinion, there seems to be no really good solution because I feel like I've tried everything (from supplements to visine) and nothing "cures" the problem.  Sorry to sound so bleak...  Hope you find a good answer

It may not be cause for alarm, but it still would be good to see a doctor (Ophthalmologist NOT an optometrist).  Optometrist is who you see when you have problems related to vision, Ophthalmologist is who you see about physical conditions of the eye.\n\nyour daughters condition could be one of several things but it might be a common stye or chalazion.  They tend to make the eyelid puffy and painful.  They are temporary and can be remedied with consistent (daily) attention.  \n\nWhile you wait to see a doctor so he can diagnose her eye, you can try using a hot compress.  This is what the doctor is going to recommend to you in the case of a chalazion or stye.  These things are akin to a pimple on the eyelid, as they caused by a blockage of glands in the lid that may or may not have become infected.  \n\nYou take a very soft, thick and pristine washcloth, soak it in almost-uncomfortable hot water (around 120F MAX), squeeze some water out and press the washcloth against the eye, applying a constant pressure not more than 1lbs per inch.  Have your daughter apply the pressure so she doesn't hurt herself.  Palm works best since it's flat.\n\nIf the eyelid is infected you will need to see the doctor to get him/her to prescribe your daughter some kind of antibiotic solution or ointment like the commonly used 'blepharide' solution.

Some think it's caused by a virus and causes your facial nerve to swell where it exits your skull behind the ear, and this blocks the nerve from transmitting until the swelling goes down. It can be treated with a steroid for the inflamation, and an anti viral for the suspected cause, but should be done as soon to the onset as possible. I had it for about a month, but sometimes it can last quite a bit longer. She needs to get eyedrops or ointment so her eye doesn't dry out (at night especially) since she won't be able to blink or close her eye until it runs its course. Good luck to you both!

no drugs can do this for you . the final answer can be lazik.. which is done by laser but may be result be not perfect but ofcourse better than your recent condition... depend on your age and your visual aquality

Best thing to do would be to see an Ophthalmologist. You could be having an allergy issue, but it could be something much worse, and only a doctor would be able to make sure.\n\nGood luck

I've been wearing glasses for about seven years now, I'm 18, and honestly I don't give a rats ass about what people think. I think that glasses are becoming in style now and you shouldn't be ashamed of wearing them if you need them. Though, not that I care about what others think, I'm trying to heal my eyesight the natural way, as laser eye surgery is not always a fool proof solution and is so expensive. I am going to use the Bates method to try and heal my eyesight, as I don't like relying on glasses to see, I want to be able to see clearly using my own eyes again. I want to wear sunglasses. I don't want to be restricted to not playing certain sports. For these personal reasons, I don't like wearing glasses, as they are crutches. I recommend you watch a DVD called "Yoga For Your Eyes" by Meir Schneider if you are interested in healing your eyes. Schneider was born legally blind and healed his eyes and is now able to legally drive without glasses. Good luck :)

I'm waiting on surgery to have my left eye operated on. i don't know any procedures around that will fix a catarrh without surgery as you need to have your bad lens removed and a new one put there. I've had my right eye done and can see through it perfectly. i cant see a thing through my left eye. the longer you leave it the worse it get, believe me i know.

Do do do be careful!!!\nOne friend had it and did fine.\nAnother is having 1-2 surgeries a month on both eyes to correct what they did to her with Lasik--she walks around with a squint. I'm afraid she may loose her vision because of this.

I've had this problem my whole life. You don't say how old you are, but if you don't do something to stop it, you can develop a nerve pathway that will make it difficult to stop it.\nBo-tox will help. The problem is that insurance carriers are suspicious because of the cosmetic applications. Go see an Ophthalmologist (Not an Optometrist!!) and get some medical help!

i took steroids too.once the left side of my face got back to normal,my left eye watered uncontrollably.The doctor said they didn't know what effects it would have but it might work.What a bunch of bullshyt.They don't know what that stuff does because it's not thoroughly tested enough.All I can suggest is patience because your nerves will come back to full function eventually.Palsy is a stress disorder.You need to relax more.Time is a more valuable drug than all that crap they're giving you.And one more piece of advice,when you get back to normal,sue the hell out of those bastards.I did !!!!
