Background: Chalazion is a chronic, non- infective inflammation of the meibomian gland commonly managed through surgical excision in conventional practice. However, surgery often leads to recurrence or scarring. This report illustrates the successful non-surgical management of a chalazion through individualized homeopathic treatment.

Case summary: A 22 years old young boy presented with a painless swelling over the upper right eye lid for three months, progressively increasing in size despite allopathic treatment. He was advised for surgical removal but sought homeopathic management due to fear of surgery. Based on a thorough case analysis, Calcarea Carbonica 200C was prescribed, followed by placebo. The swelling and redness subsided completely within one month without recurrence.

Conclusion: This case highlights the efficacy of individualised homeopathic treatment in benign glandular conditions such as chalazion, emphasizing the importance of holistic assessment, miasmatic understanding, and individualized prescription.
