Light therapy for an inflamed eyelid bump
Part of Cancer, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether intense pulsed light (a gentle light therapy) can safely and effectively treat a chalazion (a blocked oil gland on the eyelid) that is inflamed. It might help reduce the lump and speed up healing.
