What happens if you press or pop your chalazion?
So far it seems like nothing. I have done this a couple of times. I had no ill effects and no pain. I suppose, though, it depends on how bad it is. Mine have been small, to the order of a couple millimeters. Since all it is is a clogged pour, if you pop it before it becomes infected, and you don't rupture the gland walls, popping it will simply release the backed up oil. If it is larger and/or infected, popping it may release infected puss into your eye, and/or it may rupture the gland walls, causing pain and swelling and infection.
