Treatment For Meibomian Cyst ?
Posted: 07-10-07 05:38am

hi all
i dont know if anyone can help, a few months ago i had a meibomian cyst (not sure if i spelt that right) come up under my eye, on the bottom lid. It was painful and ended up being about the size of a pea so looked awful. I went to the hospital where they told me what it was, and explained that it was caused by one of the little tear ducts getting blocked, probably due to the fact that i wear heavy eye make-up.
I was given one course of antibiotics that didnt clear it up, so i went to my doctors who gave me a stronger course and tried to drain the cyst with a needle. this helped a bit although the cyst never completely disappeared and i still had a very slight bump.Since then ive had problems with the area under my eyes swelling up so i look like ive got severe bags under my eyes, and have also had problems with my vision being blurry, i thought i needed glasses but when i went to the opticians she said it was due to film covering my eye from this cyst. She told me to bathe my eye thoroughly everyday, but nothing is working. today i woke up and it is very painful and swollen and looks like the cyst could be coming back, i could cry!!
Does anyone know anything about this or have any advice for how i can get rid of it once and for all? they did mention an operation that would involve cutting the inside of my eyelid but the thought of this makes me squeamish! i would do it if it would work though
thanks in advance

also called a chalazion...please..go see a specialist..called an OPTHALMOLOGIST...they are eye specialists. Here in Canada I used to work with one and he would get patients come in with this problem. He would drain them...they are granular substances inside..and it can be fixed..so seek the appropriate help..and good luck! Wink
