This referral will not be vetted or prioritised by a consultant

Patients referred using this protocol will be seen at a nurse led routine cyst clinic (chalazion or meibomian cysts).

If your patient is less than 14 years of age, or there is any uncertainty about the nature of the lesion the patient should be referred using the general ophthalmology protocol

Before referring the patient have you considered warm compresses and or topical antibiotic therapy (see Blepharitis Treatment Tab)
