Eyelid Lumps and Infections

Overview

Chalazion and stye are common eyelid conditions due to blockage or infection of eyelid glands. A stye is a painful, infected bump; a chalazion is a painless, slow-growing lump resulting from gland blockage.

Causes

◑︎ Stye: Bacterial infection of oil glands
◑︎ Chalazion: Blocked gland after a stye

Symptoms

◑︎ Stye: Red, painful swelling on the eyelid
◑︎ Chalazion: Painless lump, may affect vision if large

Diagnosis

Clinical examination by an eye specialist.

Treatment

◑︎ Warm compresses for both conditions
◑︎ Antibiotic or anti-inflammatory ointments (for stye)
◑︎ Minor surgery for persistent chalazion

Prevention

◑︎ Practice good eyelid hygiene
◑︎ Avoid touching eyes with dirty hands
