Although neither Stye nor Chalazion is considered serious eye infections, both can be quite painful and should be treated by a professional. Pari Shams is a cosmetic and functional eyelid surgeon that specialises in the management of eyelid, lacrimal and orbital disorders in various locations across London and has years of experience treating Chalazion & Stye.

“The inflammatory eye condition known as Chalazion is sometimes confused with a Stye, but there is a difference between Chalazion & Stye. In medical terms, a Stye is often described as ulceration of an eyelash follicle or the eyelash sac. The exacerbation is caused by an infection with the so-called staphylococcal germ, while Chalazion is more of an enlargement of the oil gland (similar to a pimple) deep inside the eyelid and possibly caused by an obstruction of the gland's opening,” Dr Pari Shams - consultant oculoplastic surgeon explained.

Being a highly qualified cosmetic and functional eyelid surgeon and a consultant ophthalmologist and oculoplastic surgeon in London means that Dr Shams is entrusted with various aspects of eye care and surgical procedures that include orbital disease, lacrimal surgery (watery eyes), eye-socket disease, periocular plastic and reconstructive surgery (eyelids, eye-socket and orbit), thyroid eye disease, periocular oncology, facial nerve palsy and dystonia.

Apart from surgical procedures, Pari Shams is also well-equipped to treat eye conditions such as dry eye, or Blepharitis, which is the chronic inflammation or infection of the eyelids and the eyelash follicles and even minor and occasional eye infections like Chalazion & Stye.
