Patients across Quezon City, Metro Manila, and various regions of the Philippines choose our clinics for accessible, reliable, and value-centered surgical care that avoids unnecessary hospitalization.
Chalazion Removal (Incision and Curettage) is a minor ophthalmologic procedure designed to treat persistent eyelid bumps caused by blocked oil glands. A chalazion often appears as a firm, painless swelling on the upper or lower eyelid, and while many resolve with warm compresses or medication, some require surgical treatment to restore comfort and prevent recurring irritation.
The procedure involves creating a small opening on the inner side of the eyelid and gently clearing the trapped material causing the blockage. Patients from Metro Manila and other parts of the Philippines visit our Quezon City clinics for this procedure due to its quick recovery time, minimal discomfort, and high success rate. As an outpatient surgery, it supports both effective treatment and convenient home-based healing—aligning with the TSSCC model of avoiding unnecessary hospital stays.
