The treatment method for eyelid calculi is like this

Tarsal calculi, also known as eyelid calculi, are a relatively common eye disease in daily life. They are mostly caused by trachoma and chronic conjunctivitis, and are very harmful to people's health. So how should eyelid calculi be treated? Most people don’t know much about this. In fact, there are two ways to treat eyelid stones. One is direct scraping, and the other is using antibiotic eye drops.

1. What to do if you have eyelid stones

1.1. Direct scraping: This method is the most convenient and one of the most widely used methods. Because this disease is often caused by eye inflammation, when eliminating it, you can only remove the conjunctiva symptomatically. However, this method can cause recurrences, just like acne, eyelid stones can still grow.

1.2. Antibiotic eye drops: If you use the first method to treat eyelid stones for a long time, it may recur next time. Sometimes it can also damage the cornea, which can cause blindness if not handled with care. Therefore, if patients want to be completely cured, they must find out the real cause and make sure that their stones are caused by chronic keratitis.

2. Characteristics of eyelid stones

Eyelid stones are formed by the accumulation of epithelial cells or the denatured products of concentrated mucus, which can cause multiple hard yellow spots to appear on the conjunctiva of the face. They have no specific shape, and some are scattered and appear as dots. However, most conjunctival agglutinations occur in groups, hence the name eyelid calculi. These tiny yellow particles will not cause any discomfort if they are located deeper.

3. What is eyelid calculus?

Eyelid stones are multiple hard yellow spots on the conjunctiva of the face. They are the degeneration products of epithelial cell accumulation and mucus concentration and pressure. They never calcify and are actually conjunctival agglutinations, so the term stone is inappropriate. When this object is located deep in the cornea, there will be no discomfort. However, when it protrudes from the conjunctival surface, it will irritate the cornea and produce a foreign body sensation, or even cause corneal abrasion and erosion. Under surface anesthesia, it is removed with a sharp knife or foreign body needle. This disease is more common in adults, the elderly, and patients with trachoma and chronic conjunctivitis.
