Chalazion Treatment in Corona, California

Medically reviewed by Dr. Alexander Bonakdar, O.D. · Updated February 2026

A chalazion is a small, usually painless lump or swelling that appears on your eyelid caused by a blocked meibomian (oil) gland. Often associated with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), recurrent chalazions may benefit from IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy to improve gland function and prevent future blockages.

Chalazion affects the eyelids and surrounding structures, impacting both comfort and appearance. Corona residents experiencing persistent lid symptoms should seek evaluation to distinguish between conditions that look similar but require different treatments.
