Chalazion

What is a chalazion?

A chalazion is a lump that develops in the eyelid due to blockage of a Meibomian gland. Unlike a stye, it is generally not an infection and usually appears as a firm lump that may cause little or no pain.

What are the symptoms of a chalazion?

It may appear as an eyelid lump, swelling, pressure, or discomfort. When it becomes large, it can put pressure on the cornea and cause temporary blurred vision.

How is a chalazion treated?

Small chalazia may improve with warm compresses and proper eyelid hygiene. If the chalazion persists, becomes larger, or affects vision, an ophthalmologist may recommend other treatments, including medication or a procedure to drain or remove it.
