Stye Clinic

Stye Clinic is an in office visit to provide therapy for styes (hordeola) and or chalazia (painful, red bumps that form within the eyelid/s). Stye Clinic treatment sessions include an evaluation of the meibomian or oil glands within the eyelids - these are often dysfunctional and become blocked resulting in a stye or chalazion. Treatment starts with a heated mask applied to the eyelids for 10-15 minutes followed by gentle expression of the stye/chalazion to release the oils and inflammation from the blocked gland/s. There is mild discomfort during gland expression but no down time following this procedure. Additional treatment or follow up maybe advised.
