What is a Chalazion?
A chalazion is a small eyelid lump caused by the blockage and inflammation of the Meibomian glands (MGD). While not dangerous, it can cause swelling, discomfort, and cosmetic concerns. Proper and systematic home treatment can speed up recovery, especially when following an evidence-based protocol.
Below you will find a complete 5-step plan using Ophthalmogen products, productstargeting both treatment and prevention.
Step 1: Thermotherapy with Ophthalmogen EYE10 – 20 minutes
The self-heating compress EYE10:
- Maintains a stable temperature of ~40°C for 20 minutes
- Softens Meibomian gland secretions
- Helps relieve congestion and drainage
- Improves tear film quality and dry eye symptoms
- Reduces inflammation and swelling
How to use : Place the white side on closed eyelids and the blue side outward. Use once daily during active chalazion.
Step 2: Eyelid cleansing with Naviblef
Cleansing after heat prevents reinfection and inflammation:
- Removes excess sebum, bacteria, and Demodex
- Keeps Meibomian gland openings healthy
Use: Apply Naviblef on a cotton pad or fingers, gently clean the lash line, then rinse with lukewarm water.
Step 3: Massage with Ophthalmogen Gel
Massage is essential for proper drainage:
- Apply in gentle circular motions along the lash line
- Leave on without rinsing
- Reduces inflammation and Demodex load
- Hydrates and supports gland function
Step 4: Spraying with Ophthalmogen Spray
For faster healing and extra antimicrobial protection:
- Spray over closed eyelids from 10–15 cm distance
- Soothes, hydrates, and protects
- Reduces the risk of inflammation spreading
Use2–3 times/day, after cleansing or whenever discomfort is present.
Step 5: Prevention
After the chalazion subsides:
- Continue thermotherapy with EYE10 1–2 times/week
- Maintain daily eyelid hygiene
- Apply Ophthalmogen Gel & Spray for long-term eyelid health
Why does this protocol work?
