Let's see...
I'm 26 year old male. In November 2006 I had strep, and a doctor put me on amoxicillin. The strep went away, but while I was on it, I noticed a dot of white pus on my right lower eyelid, kind of near the middle I think.
After I ended the antibiotics, the white went away, but I started having problems with that eye. It would gum up really easily at night and be red and sticky in the morning like pink eye. I noticed a bump, and put warm compresses on it and put pressure on it to push the stuff out and it went away. But the other symptoms did not go away.
Eventually in March I found a much bigger lump on the inside of the other end of the lid. I saw an ophthalmologist and he cut it open. He said it was particularly nasty to pop. I was put on bacitracin ointment and it healed up. There is no sign of the chalazion anymore, but now the right eye dries out and gets sticky and blurry at night, and seems to tear more easily and have more crust around the lashes than the left. Sometimes I think I see styes too, though nothing significant.
I've read about how the chalazion is a blocked meibomian gland, which produces an oil coating that covers the water coating for the eye, to prevent it from drying out or tearing. Does this mean my oil gland was destroyed in the surgery? Will it grow back? I got some cheap eye drops but they only seem to work for a short period of time. Is there a specific type I should get?
