Painful calcium deposit on the inside membrane of my eye

Posted by breenmcbee @breenmcbee, May 4, 2019

I just yesterday started w/an eye pain /a white hard bump inside my lower eyelid that is so painful. My pharmacist feels it is a calcium deposit that there is no treatment for. She advised me to use clear eyes drops w/lubrication, however the deposit will not go away on it’s on? Is this true. My eye overnight swelled, w/fluid deposited underneath it.. very painful today. Any suggestions or head to the doctor.? Thanks

I saw an opthamologist and he said I have
blepharitis (you can read about this on Mayo Clinic). We are unfortunately more prone to this as we age. There is no real cure but it has to be managed with warm compresses and artificial tears. There is a procedure (for $250 dollars) called Blephex
which is not covered by OHIP. Hope this info is helpful.
