I've had a chalazion on my left upper eyelid for about 3 weeks now. I've been using CIPZEN D for the last 5 days and it's gotten a lot smaller, but there's still a tiny lump left. Should I keep taking the meds or is there an ointment that can help it go away completely? I really don't want to go for surgery.

My dad is 61 and had CABG surgery two weeks ago. He lost vision in his left eye 23 days before the surgery. The optician recommended eye injections, but since he just had heart surgery, when is it safe to treat his eye problem?

It's crucial to consult with both the ophthalmologist and your father's cardiac surgeon or cardiologist to determine the safest timing for eye treatment. Two weeks after CABG surgery, the body is still in a recovery phase, and any procedure could potentially put additional strain on the heart or interfere with the healing process.
