Owing to the variability and lack of standardization of chalazion management, a survey of Ontario ophthalmologists was undertaken. The results highlight what ophthalmologists consider to be problems in chalazion management and suggest that a chalazion operation should be treated with the same respect given any other operation.

Department of Ophthalmology, Edward S. Harkness Eye Institute, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York, New York, U.S.A.
Purpose: Current treatment approaches aimed at resolving a chalazion vary greatly among practice settings and practitioners. Our objective is to provide a review of existing literature on treatment modalities aimed at resolving a chalazion.
Methods: We conducted a review of existing peer-reviewed publications that described treatment methods aimed at resolving chalazia in patients of any age.
Efficacy of combined doxycycline and intense pulsed light therapy for the management of intractable recurrent chalazion.
Front Med (Lausanne)
September 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Chonnam National University Medical School and Hospital, Gwangju, Republic of Korea.
Management of chalazion, characterized by noninfectious chronic granulomatous inflammation of the meibomian glands (MGs), remains challenging in ophthalmic practice, particularly because of its propensity for recurrence even after surgical intervention. This study aimed to evaluate the combined efficacy of doxycycline and intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy for treating intractable recurrent chalazion, focusing on reducing recurrence rates and improving MG status. This retrospective study included patients with intractable recurrent chalazion refractory to conventional treatments including surgical intervention and antibiotics.

From the Department of Ophthalmology and Vision Sciences, The Hospital for Sick Children (R.B., A.M.A., K.M., A.A.), Toronto, Ontario, Canada; Department of Ophthalmology and Vision Sciences, University of Toronto (R.B., A.M.A., K.M., A.A.), Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the clinical and histopathologic characteristics of eyelid cutaneous horns in five pediatric patients, with a focus on information from patient records and literature review.
- - Results showed that all lesions resolved either surgically or conservatively, with the average patient age being 6.6 years, and no signs of malignancy were found during histologic evaluations.
- - The findings suggest that pediatric eyelid cutaneous horns are linked to inflammatory conditions like hordeolum or chalazion and are generally benign, differing from adult cases that often involve neoplastic changes.

Article Synopsis
- * A specific bacteria, which is common in the eye, decreases in abundance as we age and can behave as both an infectious agent and an immune trigger.
- * The review focuses on how this bacteria contributes to various eye inflammations, affecting diagnosis and treatment strategies.
Sociodemographic Factors Associated With Emergent Eye-Related Emergency Department Visits: A Multicenter Analysis.
Am J Ophthalmol
January 2025
Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins Hospital (F.A.W.), Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze sociodemographic factors in patients with eye-related issues attending emergency departments (EDs) and differentiate between emergent and nonemergent cases.
- A total of 60,677 patients were evaluated across multiple eye hospitals throughout 2019, with findings indicating that most diagnoses were nonemergent (56.7%).
- Key results showed that males and non-White Hispanic patients were more likely to have emergent diagnoses, while those with private insurance were less likely compared to uninsured patients; standard ED visits were associated with more emergent conditions than visits to specialized eye EDs.
