is it okay to have laser eye surgery if you are prone to chalazions?

my surgeon says it is okay as long as it isnt an active chalazion is this true?

A chalazion is caused by a blockage in one of the glands in your eye lids (of which there are many)and normally cause very little problems. With regards to laser eye surgery the most important thing is that it is not infected (active) as this may mean you are more likely to get an infection during your laser eye surgery. Without having seen your eye it is difficult to be 100% certain but if your surgeon says they are happy to carry out the treatment then you should go for it. Once you have had the laser eye surgery and your eye has fully healed if you then get a Chalazion it will have no negative effect on your laser eye surgery.
