To get rid of calcium deposits on the eyelids you can do so through, surgical excision (using a scalpel and incision), laser therapy (using a light or carbon dioxide laser), and Iontophoresis (using electrical currents and calcium-dissolving substances to break up deposits).

Some things you can do at home to get rid of calcium deposits on your eyelids are to use warm compresses and keep your eyelids clean.

The warm compresses can help soften and loosen the calcium deposits and make them easier to remove and can help to make the calcium deposits on the eyelids easier to remove and can also help with underlying conditions such as blepharitis.

Calcium deposits on the eyelids are also known as calcinosis cutis.

Calcinosis cutis or calcium deposits on the eyelids appear as white or yellowish firm bumps under the skin.

The calcinosis cutis or calcium deposits can occur anywhere on your body, but are often found on the face and eyelids.

The calcium deposits on the eyelids or face or other areas of the body are often just a harmless cosmetic concern although they can in some cases indicate that you have an underlying medical condition.

Several types of autoimmune diseases can cause calcium deposits, also known as calcinosis, in the body including on the eyelids or face.

The most common autoimmune diseases associated with calcinosis are systemic sclerosis (also known as scleroderma) and dermatomyositis.

Other autoimmune conditions like systemic lupus erythematosus, mixed connective tissue disease, and Sjögren's syndrome can also sometimes lead to calcinosis as well.
