If you are troubled by a persistent lump on your eyelid known as a chalazion, you are not alone. A chalazion can cause discomfort, affect your appearance, and disrupt everyday life. At Blue Fin Vision® Eye Clinic, we offer private chalazion removal in North West London through our top-rated specialists at Chase Lodge Hospital in Barnet. Our expert team uses advanced techniques to remove chalazion safely and effectively with a personalised, patient-centred approach.
What is a Chalazion?
A chalazion is a benign swelling or lump that develops on the eyelid due to a blocked oil gland. Unlike a painful stye, a chalazion tends to be painless but can become red, swollen, and tender if infected or inflamed. Chalazion in the eye can lead to:
- Uncomfortable eyelid swelling
- Blurred vision if it presses on the eye
- Unsightly lumps that affect your confidence
- Recurrent irritation or infections
If you’ve noticed a chalazion that persists despite home remedies, professional treatment is recommended to prevent complications and restore comfort.

How Is Chalazion Treated in North West London?
Conservative Treatments
Small chalazia can sometimes resolve with warm compresses, gentle massage, and lubricating eye drops. However, persistent, large, or recurrent chalazion often require surgical intervention for complete removal.
Private Chalazion Removal Surgery
Our approach to removing chalazion involves a quick, minor surgical procedure usually performed under local anaesthetic. The surgeon makes a tiny incision inside the eyelid to drain and excise the blocked gland contents gently.
This day-case procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes, minimising disruption to your daily life while maximising safety and comfort.
