Chalazion - what does this mean
A chalazion is a small, painless lump that develops on the eyelid due to a blocked meibomian gland. the gland is responsible for producing oils that help keep the eye lubricated. when the meibomian gland becomes blocked, the oil builds up and causes a chalazion to form.
What happens during the disease - chalazion
Chalazion is a common eyelid disorder caused by inflammation of the meibomian gland. it is thought to be caused by blockage of the gland due to infection, trauma, or an abnormal immune response. this blockage causes a buildup of oil and debris which then leads to swelling, redness, and pain in the affected area. the inflammation can also cause the gland to become enlarged, resulting in a visible lump on the eyelid. treatment typically includes hot compresses and antibiotics, and in some cases, surgical removal of the chalazion may be necessary.
