Chalazion
A chalazion is a small bump that forms on the eyelid when one of its glands becomes blocked and its contents build up. It is usually painless and develops slowly, unlike a stye, which is more acute.
Common symptoms: a firm nodule on the eyelid, localized swelling and, at times, a feeling of heaviness or slightly blurred vision if it is large.
Why it appears: blockage of the eyelid glands, sometimes associated with skin or eyelash problems.
Who treats it? The ophthalmologist is the right professional to evaluate a chalazion and provide guidance on its management. If the bump on the eyelid does not go away or grows, it is advisable to schedule an eye exam with a professional.
