Common symptoms: it is noticed as a firm, painless lump on the eyelid, sometimes with redness or a feeling of heaviness; it rarely bothers vision.

When to see a doctor? It is advisable to have it checked if it grows, persists for several weeks, becomes inflamed, or recurs frequently.

Which specialist treats it? The ophthalmologist is the professional suited to examine it and guide the management; the general practitioner can offer a first evaluation. If you notice a lump that does not let up, the advisable thing is for an eye care professional to check it carefully.
