Background
Chalazia, or meibomian cysts, are often seen in general practice.
While most can be resolved with a minor operation in a designated
procedure room, there is a lack of published literature on the details
of the incision and curettage used to treat this condition.
Objective
This article outlines the management and treatment of chalazia in the

Discussion
Chalazia are a common cause of morbidity in people of all ages.
Treatment, which is based on clinical diagnosis, can involve
conservative management, intralesional steroid injection, or incision
and curettage.
