How to Treat Calcium Deposits On Eyelids

I worked out a cure for these things a few years back, but they recur occasionally and I was just looking to see what other people have been doing, and thought I would offer my suggestions. I decided to experiment with EDTA after reading that a Japanese professor had been using it with success to dissolve calcium deposits within the eyeball itself, that had been clouding the vision of one of his patients.

I get white lumps inside the eyelid, visible when peeling back the eyelid, probably calcium, feel like grit, here is what to do:

Get 10 500mg capsules of EDTA powder, break open the capsules, and dissolve the EDTA powder in 50ml distilled water (this will be perfectly sterile and will the best for dissolving EDTA thoroughly). Using a dropper, apply the solution under the eyelid as many times a day as you like (this will not sting or irritate the eye at all, but remember that EDTA is a chelator, so don't whack a paste or anything like that into your eye in case it disturbs the mineral balance of the physical composition of your eyeball, not that it should, but just saying this to advise you to proceed with due caution, my eyes are perfectly ok and fully intact I might add after using a whole load of this solution over the years whenever I get a recurrence.

When you use this, also palpate the eyelid between finger and thumb to squidge the white nodules a bit and assist their destruction. One to two weeks at this in your spare time will completely rid you of the nodules; if not, persevere, it might just be that I worked at it a little more than you did to get results in one to two weeks. I actually felt great relief after just 4 days to give you some idea. Please give me feedback if you like on how you are getting on.

I had also calcium concretions in my eyes, under the eyelids for several years. They were so irritating. Last year (2011) my doctor simply removed them after numbing my eyes with drops. They were back in this year, so I needed to see my doctor again, and now I am OK!

Calcium concretions may appear several times in your life. Just go to a good Ophthalmology doctor; he knows how to remove them. There is definitely a very simple treatment to get rid of them! 

Phil: i had calcium deposits under my eyelids and my eye doctor removed them periodically until he prescribed "Alrex" by Bauch and Lomb. I now put one drop in both eyes twice a day, and the calcium has disappeared. The instructions to Alrex state do not use for more than 14 days, but i have been using it for approximately 7 years with no problem.

 

Hi I am a Beauty therapist,and this sounds to me like "MILIA " tiny hard white lumps which should not be squeezed.I remove many of ,these small and large deposits within my Salon, done correctly,there is no scarring and the results are instant .......I always tell my clients that they are formed with excess ammounts of Sebum ,the bodies natural oil. No where for it to go (as in a follicle or pore ) the build up is within the epi-dermis and very easy to remove....hope this helps

Hi, noticed your post & thought I'd comment. I am 28 & have had a form of osteoporosis since birth. I've had these bumps since about age 10, as the calcium I intake doesn't get absorbed into my bones as it should, they end up on my eyelids in these bumps.
Have you had a bone density test to make sure your not calcium deficient?
Always good to check.
And like others have said, they are easily removed via a small incision.

Just had 1 removed at Moorfields Eye Hospital. A v simple and effective procedure

I have lots of persistent concretions under eyelids and went through having the worst removed. Specialist eye doctorhere in Aus. noticed some scaring from concretions and has put me on a course of doxycycline tablets for 3 months with chlorsig eye ointment. Apparently skin type and inflammation can contribute to this problem. I have only just started on this treatment.

I have had serious numerous  recurring concretions under my upper eye lids for years and have to have them removed.After having  taken barleans flax  oil capsules for a while they cleared  up for sveral years. I switched to a cheaper flax oil and the concretions came back. I have had to have them removed twice in the last month. I'm back to taking barleans flax oil and hope fully it will work again.

I also use some artificial tears.

I had these, I dug a needle right into them,  if you squeeze Realy hard then they come out. 

You were lucky, as when I went there, they pleaded total ignorance as to how to treat calcium bumps inside the eyelid.then, stating several times that there was no treatment, and simply sending me away with some lubricating drops to alleviate the eye, but I threw the drops away after reading that they could damage the eyes (due to some unpleasant additive).

I would be interested to hear from you exactly what they did to remove the calcium bump under your eyelid, then I can quote what you say if ever I visit Moorfields again for any other problem, and ask them why they refused to offer me a treatment that you say is already available, when they assured me that there was no treatment available.

The EDTA works just fine to dissolve them, but unfortunately, under codex alimentarius, the government has now banned EDTA from sale. Not nice people.

 

You are entirely mistaken in describing what you had in the first place. Alrex is the same rubbish that Moorfields eye hospital gave me, and I threw it in the dustbin as the poisonous rubbish it is. I advise you to do the same; just read the advise label before you do your eyes irreparable damage.

Nowhere does 'Alrex' claim to be able to dissolve calcium eye deposits inside the eyelid, not does it do so, nor do Moorfields Hospital claim that it does so either, as I asked them the same question; the drops are simply to reduce the irritation caused by whatever it was you really had, which was obviously not calcium deposits, or you would still have them.

THIS IS FROM THE ADVICE LEAFLET THAT YOU NEVER READ;

'Alrex ophthalmic suspension (loteprednol etabonate ophthalmic suspension) 0.2% is indicated for temporary relief of the signs and symptoms of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis.1 'Alrex contains an ester corticosteroid that specifically targets inflammation, the source of signs and symptoms of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis. Common signs and symptoms are associated with inflamed seasonal allergic conjunctivitis such as: itching, swelling, tearing, burning, redness, foreign-body sensation, and discomfort.2 

'INDICATION Alrex Ophthalmic Suspension is indicated for temporary relief of the signs and symptoms of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis. 'IMPORTANT RISK INFORMATION '•Alrex is contraindicated in most viral diseases of the cornea and conjunctiva including epithelial herpes simplex keratitis (dendritic keratitis), vaccinia, and varicella, and also in mycobacterial infection of the eye and fungal diseases of the ocular structures.

I sincerely doubt that Moorfields Eye Hospital would ever have prescribed you Alrex for 7 years straight, due to the significant risk of permanent damage to your eyes through using it that long. Please be more careful before using such products and mentioning to others how you have used Alrexit for 7 years with no problem.

It is never prescribed to remove calcium eyelid deposits, nor can it do so. If you really have used this for 7 years you should have your eyes checked thoroughly again by Moorfields as a matter of urgency.

Only had 1 in my eye for about 2 weeks. Annoying. Went to my eye doctor, she numbed my eye and walla she took it out. What a relief! and gave eye drops to help heal the scratches I had created on by eyeball by rubbing.
So the Eye Doctor is the answer hope this helps

I just came from my eye doctor who told me I had calcium deposits in my eye. He said normally a film keeps them from bothering the eyeball. However, they can tear through the film like mine did . He pulled 11 out of my eyeball today. I have to use eye drops for a few days to keep from getting an infection. So whatever doctor you went to did not know what the hell h was telling you. My doctor told me they could come back.

My Dr. Removes them for me. It's a non invasive procedure. He just pokes them out and prescribes me antibiotics eye drops for a few days. You need to find a second opinion or a specialist that does that. it makes a world of a difference!!

Did u feel relief immediately, because I had mine removed at 2 o'clock today and my eyes are irritated and water and driving me crazy. It is now 10:18 pm and I can't sleep.
