Curettage for Copious Conjunctival Concretions

Management of multiple exposed eyelid concretions can be performed successfully in an anesthetized eyelid with gentle curettage of the concretions using a small chalazion curette. It has the advantage of managing the patient supine, providing better eyelid stability and visibility, and minimizing risk in the event of patient movement. This curettage technique was used to facilitate the successful resolution of a patient's ocular surface irritative symptomatology due to multiple exposed concretions.
