It’s a good place to describe image

When a simple “bump” on the eyelid becomes a real problem

It's painful. It is visible. And it's not going away.

You suffer from it on several levels:

  • Pain: Pulsatile, intense, making every blink uncomfortable.
  • Discomfort: You avoid eye contact. You feel uncomfortable with the swelling and redness.
  • Frustration: Home remedies don't do anything. The hump persists, hardens, and encysts.
  • Fear: “Is it going to come back again?”

If the hot compresses have not worked after a week, or if the pain is severe, you need professional intervention.

Stye or Chalazion? The right diagnosis changes everything

Stop guessing. These two conditions require different approaches.

  • Stye (Infection): Red, very painful and fast. It is an acute infection that requires immediate action.
  • Chalazion (Block): Firm, less painful but persistent hump. It is a blocked gland that requires specific techniques to be released.

Targeted treatment starts with an accurate diagnosis.

‍

Break the Recidivism Cycle

‍

Recurring styes and chalazions are not inevitable.

‍

These bumps are just the symptom. The real cause? Blocked oil glands in your eyelids (a condition called DGM or blepharitis).

‍

We're not just dealing with the current hump. We treat the source.

It is the only way to prevent the problem from coming back again and again.

Histoire de patients

Persistent and Recurrent Chalazions
La Situation
A patient in his thirties consulted us, suffering from repeated episodes of painful and inflammatory chalazions in both eyes. Despite standard home care and treatments, he was caught up in a cycle of seizures and swellings, compounded by cutaneous rosacea and long hours of screen work. The discomfort was constant and the situation was getting frustrating.
Notre Approche
Rather than simply treating each chalazion in isolation, we took a global approach to address the root cause: meibomian gland dysfunction (DGM) linked to her rosacea. We have put in place a tailor-made protocol.
Le Résultat
Thanks to this comprehensive care, the patient saw his discomfort score (frequency and intensity) drop from 30% to almost 0%. The chalazions gradually resolved without requiring an incision, and episodes of acute swelling became rare. He now has lasting control over his condition, with a simplified and effective care routine that has restored his daily life comfort.

Pediatric Chalazion (3 years)
La Situation
Les parents d'un jeune enfant nous ont consultés pour un chalazion persistant, dans un contexte d'inflammation chronique des paupières (blépharite). Malgré leurs efforts, les soins quotidiens à la maison étaient difficiles à administrer à un enfant plein d'énergie, et le problème persistait, causant un inconfort visible et une inquiétude parentale.
Notre Approche
Face à un jeune patient, notre priorité est toujours une approche douce, non-invasive et sans douleur. Nous avons mis en place un protocole basé sur des séances de thérapie par lumière de faible intensité (LLLT), une technologie indolore qui calme l'inflammation et stimule la guérison. En complément, des nettoyages professionnels en clinique ont permis de gérer la cause sous-jacente (Demodex et dysfonction des glandes), une étape souvent difficile à réaliser efficacement à la maison.
Le Résultat
Grâce à ce protocole patient et adapté, le chalazion s'est drainé spontanément, évitant ainsi le recours à une procédure d'incision plus invasive, ce qui est toujours notre objectif principal chez un enfant. L'inflammation s'est progressivement calmée et les parents ont maintenant une routine de soins simplifiée et efficace pour gérer la condition à long terme. L'enfant a retrouvé des paupières saines et un confort au quotidien.

FAQ
Traitez-vous les chalazions chez les enfants ?

Oui, absolument. Les chalazions sont fréquents chez les enfants. Notre approche est adaptée pour assurer leur confort, en privilégiant des traitements conservateurs optimisés et des technologies douces et non-invasives (comme la Photobiomodulation) lorsque cela est possible, afin d'éviter les procédures plus invasives ou sous anesthésie générale.

Puis-je juste attendre que ça parte tout seul avec des compresses chaudes ?

Parfois oui. Les compresses chaudes sont le traitement de base essentiel. Cependant, si cela persiste au-delà de 2 à 4 semaines, ou si c'est très douloureux, une intervention professionnelle est recommandée. Nous pouvons souvent utiliser des technologies non-invasives comme la Photobiomodulation ou l'IPL pour accélérer la résolution si les compresses échouent, avant d'envisager une procédure.

Et si la bosse revient toujours au même endroit ?

Les récidives fréquentes indiquent que la cause sous-jacente (le dysfonctionnement des glandes) n'est pas contrôlée. C'est là que des traitements comme l'IPL et le ZEST sont essentiels pour briser le cycle. De plus, les récidives fréquentes au même endroit nécessitent parfois une investigation plus approfondie (biopsie) pour éliminer toute autre cause plus sérieuse.

Pourquoi consulter un optométriste plutôt que mon médecin de famille ou l'urgence ?

Les médecins généralistes gèrent bien les cas simples. Cependant, notre clinique dispose de technologies spécialisées (comme l'IPL, le ZEST) essentielles pour traiter la cause sous-jacente (DGM/Blépharite) et prévenir les récidives. De plus, nous offrons des options ciblées comme les injections pour chalazions qui ne sont pas toujours disponibles ailleurs.
