About Aspiration of Cyst

Aspiration of a cyst in ophthalmology is a minimally invasive procedure where an ophthalmologist uses a fine needle to drain fluid from a cyst located on or around the eye. Common sites include the eyelid (e.g., chalazion or Meibomian cyst) or the conjunctiva. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting. After numbing the area, the doctor inserts a small needle to withdraw the cyst's contents, which can relieve pressure, reduce swelling, and improve vision or comfort. It is a quick, effective solution for symptomatic cysts that do not respond to conservative treatments like warm compresses or antibiotic ointments. This procedure helps prevent recurrence and potential complications like infection or visual obstruction.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to a couple of...

I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Karunakaran actually listened. He asked a lot of questions I hadn't been asked before and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up on the standard scans. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I had the surgery at MGM last month and feel like myself again.
