A lump on the eyelid that won’t go away for weeks?
A chalazion is a firm lump on the eyelid caused by a blocked gland. If it stays for weeks, an eye surgeon removes it. At RB CLINIC — from 150,000 ₸ per chalazion.

Chalazion
A small one often goes down on its own, and warm compresses help. If it stays, grows or bothers you — it is removed.

Stye
A pus-filled inflammation at the root of a lash. It usually clears on its own in a few days: warm compresses and no squeezing. If it doesn’t clear — see an ophthalmologist.
Needs an examination
Rule out a growth
Sometimes an eyelid growth hides behind what looks like a chalazion. For a lump that has come back in the same spot, ophthalmologists recommend a tissue test — your doctor will tell you whether you need it.
This is a hint, not a diagnosis. The doctor will tell you for sure — from a photo of the eyelid or at an examination.

Chalazion on the eye
A stye hurts and clears up on its own in a few days. A chalazion doesn’t hurt and can last for months. A stye is a pus-filled inflammation at the root of a lash: the lid turns red, swells and hurts, and after a few days the pus drains by itself. A chalazion works differently. Deep in the lid, a gland that oils the lid edge gets blocked, and a firm nodule grows around the trapped secretion. It hardly hurts, grows slowly and feels like a pea under the skin. It is also known as a meibomian cyst.
| Sign | Stye | Chalazion |
|---|---|---|
| Pain | yes, sometimes severe | usually none |
| Where | at the lid edge, by a lash | inside the lid, a little further from the edge |
| To the touch | soft, with a pus head | firm, like a pea |
| How long it lasts | a few days | weeks and months |
| What to do | warm compresses; a doctor if it doesn’t clear | examination, removal if needed |
A third option
Sometimes an eyelid growth hides behind what looks like a chalazion, and from the outside the two can’t always be told apart. That is why, for a lump that keeps coming back in the same spot, ophthalmologists recommend a tissue test; your doctor will tell you whether you need it. Removal of an eyelid growth — from 150,000 ₸ per eye.
Why not to squeeze it
A chalazion is not a pimple. Its contents sit deep in the cartilage of the lid and won’t come out when squeezed. But you can bring in an infection and turn a quiet nodule into inflammation across half the face. Don’t pierce or heat the lump until a doctor has seen it.
Chalazion: treatment
A small chalazion often goes down on its own within a few weeks. Removal is for one that stays, grows or gets in the way. The doctor decides after the examination. If the nodule can be left without surgery, the doctor will say so.
First — without surgery
Treatment usually starts simple: warm compresses, gentle lid massage, lid-margin hygiene, sometimes drops or ointment prescribed by the doctor. These steps help open the gland’s duct.
Removal is offered if
The eyelid and the chalazion
It all starts with an examination, not with surgery. First the doctor makes sure it really is a chalazion, and only then suggests what to do. The doctor will explain at the examination how the removal will go and what happens afterwards — before you decide.
Call straight away if after removal the lid swells a lot, becomes painful or you get a fever: +7 771 848 00 00.
To keep it from coming back
