Talk:Chalazion

message: 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 .-69.87.200.81 13:34, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Size? 

message: 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...)

thread_title:  WOW; 

message: 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)
thread_title:  Complications 

message: 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.
