Which surgical instrument is used in chalazion surgery?

Curette
Dilator
Forceps
Scalpel

The correct answer is: Forceps

During chalazion surgery, forceps are used to grasp and stabilize the chalazion, allowing the ophthalmologist to make precise incisions and remove the contents of the chalazion. Forceps are essential in this procedure to ensure optimal control and visibility. The other options listed, such as curette, dilator, and scalpel, are not typically used in chalazion surgery.
