Chalazion – stye is no longer a concern for young children.
Stye or chalazion is one of the common inflammatory conditions of the eyelids that occurs in both adults and children. It is characterized by sudden localized swelling in the eyelid area, which may be accompanied by diffuse swelling of the eyelid causing pain, discomfort, or slight drooping of the eyelid during the acute inflammatory phase. This condition makes it uncomfortable for the patient to see and significantly affects daily activities.
In cases where the chalazion or stye is large causing significant redness of the eyelid or persistent stye, additional antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications may be prescribed to help drain the pus in the early stages. If the chalazion or stye does not resolve, the doctor will recommend incision and drainage to completely remove the mucus and pus to prevent recurrence. For adults, incision and drainage of a stye or chalazion is a simple, painless procedure. However, for young children, this procedure can be a source of fear. The anxiety can cause children to scream and struggle continuously, making the process quite challenging.
At the Eye Clinic – Hai Phong International Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital, in addition to the conventional method of chalazion and stye injection under local anesthesia, the hospital has implemented the method of chalazion and stye injection under general anesthesia in the operating room. All treatment cases have shown very good results, meeting the needs of parents when bringing their children for examination and treatment.
When visiting the Eye Clinic – Hai Phong International Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital, patients will:
– Be examined, thoroughly consulted, and treated by a team of highly specialized ophthalmologists.

– Ensure safety and reduce the recurrence rate of chalazion and stye.
