Abstract EN
Objective : To evaluate the efficacy of intralesional injection of steroids in the treatment of chalazia.
Methods : Ninety-four patients who attended the ophthalmic clinics at King Hussein Medical Center between 1994-1997, were studied and divided into four groups according to the site, size, and number of lesions.
Results : The success rates were 8.4 %, 7.4 %, 67 % and 55 % in the four groups.
Conclusion : Intralesional steroid injection for chalazia is an effective and safe method of treatment.
The larger the size of the lesion, the lower the success rate.
Marginal chalazia have a relatively low success rate.
