Priya Jones, a 42-year-old graphic designer...
Priya Jones, a 42-year-old graphic designer and mother of two, had noticed a persistent, painless bump on her upper eyelid for nearly six months. Initially dismissing it as a stubborn stye, it grew slowly but steadily, becoming more visible and causing a slight heaviness and cosmetic concern. Her optometrist confirmed it was a chalazion, a blocked oil gland cyst, and recommended warm compresses. When it failed to resolve after two months, she was referred to ophthalmologist Dr. Chen. Dr. Chen explained that the cyst's contents had solidified and needed to be surgically drained (aspirated) under local anesthetic to prevent further growth and inflammation. In the procedure, Priya was awake but numbed; she felt pressure but no pain as Dr. Chen made a tiny incision and drained the thick material. Recovery involved a week of antibiotic ointment and mild swelling. The cyst resolved completely, relieving the physical discomfort and her self-consciousness. Emotionally, she moved from frustration and worry about her appearance to relief and gratitude for a simple, effective solution.
