Experiencing an irritating bump on your eyelid or excessive tearing?
At Apex Eye Associates, our experienced ophthalmologists specialize in a range of in-office eyelid surgeries aimed at relieving irritation from unwanted bumps and lumps on the eyelids. In addition, we can also provide relief for excessive tearing due to a lack of tear outflow.
How Eyelid Surgery Can Help
Eyelid surgeries are commonly performed to address various conditions, such as chalazion, eyelid lesions, and certain types of excessive tearing. Our in-office eyelid surgeries can be performed to eliminate any abnormal growths or lesions on the eyelid, ensuring the health and aesthetics of your eyes. No need to coordinate with a hospital or outside surgery center.

Styes and Chalazia
A stye is a common eyelid condition characterized by a painful, red lump that forms on the eyelid, typically caused by a bacterial infection of the oil glands in the eyelid. A chalazion is a benign lump that develops due to a blocked oil gland. We can carefully remove these bumps, relieving any discomfort and improving the appearance of your eyelid.

Hidrocystoma
Hidrocystoma is a cystic lesion that develops on the eyelid, usually caused by the accumulation of fluid in the sweat glands. These can often cause irritation and discomfort depending on their size and location. We can help excise these eyelid lesions and decrease recurrence rates.

Skin Tags and Papilloma
Papilloma refers to the presence of abnormal, often wart-like growths on the eyelid, which can vary in size and may require medical intervention for removal. A skin tag is a small benign growth that typically appears as a soft-protruding piece of skin attached to the body by a stalk. We offer in-office removals for these lesions for symptomatic relief or cosmetic reasons.

Tearing/Epiphora
Epiphora refers to excessive tearing or watery eyes. It occurs when tears are not able to drain properly from the eye, resulting in an overflow of tears onto the face. Epiphora can be caused by various factors. If due to blockage or narrowing of the tear ducts, we can expand the tear duct and increase drainage to improve tearing.
