Disease: Chalazion
Symptoms: Painful, red lump or swelling on the eyelid, usually on the upper eyelid, sensitivity to light, blurred vision (if the chalazion affects the line of sight), mild discomfort, tenderness, localized inflammation and swelling
Treatments: Warm compresses (to help soften and promote drainage of the blocked oil gland), gentle massage of the affected area, eyelid hygiene (keeping the area clean), over-the-counter lubricating eye drops, topical antibiotic ointments (if there is a risk of infection), corticosteroid injections (for larger or persistent chalazia), surgical drainage or excision (in rare cases or if conservative treatments are ineffective)
