Effects of chalazion and its treatments on the meibomian glands: a nonrandomized, prospective observation clinical study

Abstract

Chalazion causes meibomian gland loss, and the range of meibomian gland loss is not related to the treatment method but to the range of chalazion itself. A hot compress as part of conservative treatment can improve meibomian gland function at the site of chalazion in the short term.
