What happens during the treatment?
In this process, topical anaesthesia is applied within the area of the conjunctiva cyst. An incision is made in the cyst and the content of the cyst are drained. No stitches are required to cover the incision, and it generally heals on its own. After the cyst is removed, an antibiotic ointment is applied on the surface to avoid any infection.

After the removal of conjunctiva cyst
The patient can go home in an hour after the surgery is performed. Patients have to take proper care of the surface after the cyst removal surgery. The surface should be kept clean and warm. Ophthalmologist also prescribes certain medications and eye drops which are to be taken for a brief period of time.
The procedure is minimally invasive and does not have a lot of risks attached to it.
