Abstract
A 55-year-old physician developed a small chalazion that was associate d with a two diopter increase in hyperopia. There was no increase In a stigmatism. The spherical refractive change cleared after removal of t he chalazion and was associated with a three-fourths diopter steepenin g of the cornea. It is very unusual for lid lesions to induce purely s pherical changes in refraction.
