Comparative study on local injection therapy of chalazia

ABSTRACT

Ninety five chalazia were treated with local injections. Small cystic chalazia responded best to intralesional steroid. Acute infected lesions did better if an antibiotic was added to the steriod Injection. Hard, long-standing chalazia did not respond well either to intra. or paralesional steriod injection with or without an antibiotic. The control group injected with saline and followed for a similar period did not show any spontaneous resolution
