Chalazion or Eye Cyst is a lump of the
upper or lower eyelid caused by obstruction and inflammation of an oil gland of
the eyelid. It is not a tumor
and does not cause permanent changes in the vision. It’s very common and
usually goes away without the necessity of surgery.
Most chalazions are treated with warm
compresses to the eyelid to increase the circulation of blood to the inflamed
area and promote healing. In addition, the doctor may prescribe an antibiotic
drop or ointment to be used immediately after the compresses.
Chalazion/Cysts are common and can occur
anywhere in the body in persons of any age. Cysts usually contain a gaseous,
liquid, or semisolid substance.
