Chalazions and hordeolums (styes) are small, sometimes uncomfortable bumps on the eyelid that don’t always go away on their own.
This patient had a hordeolum on the lower eyelid that failed medical management.
His surgery took 4 minutes and 3 dissolvable sutures. And just 6 days post-op, the eyelid is already healing beautifully, with minimal swelling or discomfort. In a few more weeks, the area will be looking even better – most of the time, it’s like nothing ever happened!
