Measure
Hot Compress
Patients in the hot compress arm will be shown how to apply hot compresses to the affected lid and gently massage the lid to encourage the chalazion to spontaneously drain for 5 minutes, 3x/day. Hot Compresses: Hot compresses 3x/day to eyelids
Hot Compress + Tobramycin Drops and Ointment
In addition to using hot compress, patients in the Tobramycin arm will be prescribed Tobramycin drops 3x/day and ointment to be applied before bedtime. Tobramycin Drops and Ointment: Tobramycin drops will be given to the affected eye 3x/day, and Tobramycin ointment will be given at night before bed.
Hot Compress + Tobramycin/Dexamethasone Drops and Ointment
In addition to using hot compress, patients in the Tobramycin/Dexamethasone arm will be prescribed Tobramycin/Dexamethasone drops 3x/day and ointment to be applied before bedtime. Tobramycin/Dexamethasone Drops and Ointment: Tobramycin/Dexamethasone drops will be given to the affected eye 3x/day, and Tobramycin/Dexamethasone ointment will be given at night before bed.
