Intralesional corticosteroid treatment of chalazia.
Thirty-eight chalazia in 29 patients were treated with intralesional corticosteroid injections; 71% resolved after one injection, and another 15.8% resolved after a second injection. Only two large chalazia required surgery. Intralesional corticosteroid injection offers an easy, quick, and effective way of treating small and medium-size chalazia and does not require special instruments or any additional treatment. The method is convenient for the patient as well as for the ophthalmologist.
