My left eye has a chalazion and I really don't want surgery are there any medicines or treatments that can help clear it up without going under the knife? It's been bothering me and I'm worried about it getting worse. What options do I have?

It usually heals by itself. Home remedies like applying a warm compress to your eye can help break up the oil and promote drainage. If home remedies alone aren't enough to heal your chalazion, you may need medical treatment. Your doctor may recommend steroid injections or surgical removal.
