Chalazion
A chalazion develops within the Meibomian glands of the eyelid, which are sebaceous glands that produce the tear film that lubricates the eyes. The eyelid has approximately 100 of these glands, located near the eyelashes.
Causes
The condition is caused by obstruction of the duct that drains one of these glands.

A chalazion begins as diffuse swelling and tenderness, and later forms a cyst-like localized swelling.
Symptoms
- Painful swelling on the eyelid
- Eyelid tenderness
- Sensitivity of light
- Increased tearing
- Signs and tests
- Examination of eyelid confirms the diagnosis.
- Rarely, the Meibomian gland duct may be blocked by a skin cancer.
- If this is suspected, a biopsy may be needed to diagnose the disorder.
Complications
A large chalazion can cause astigmatism due to pressure on the cornea. This will resolve with resolution of the chalazion.
