Disease : Chalazion

Last Updated on : 22 Sep 2011

A chalazion is a painless bump on your eyelid. It can affect the upper or lower eyelid.
Chalazia (plural for chalazion) result from healed internal styes that no longer are infectious. These cyst-like eyelid bumps form around an oil gland within the lid and can cause red, swollen eyelids.
The contents of a chalazion include pus and blocked fatty secretions (lipids) that normally help lubricate the eye but can no longer drain out.
The primary difference between a stye (Hordeolum) and a chalazia is the cause. A stye ( primarily a staphylococcal infection) usually rises close to the edge of one of the eyelids and it is a red, sore bump. Styes can be caused by an eyelash follicle which has become inflamed. If a stye comes up under the eyelid or inside it then it is considered an internal hordeolum. A stye can also be caused if there is a backup of oil in a meibomian gland, which can lead to inflammation. This is a very small gland located inside the eyelid and its function is to provide oil for keeping the eye lubricated.
A chalazion is a Greek word that literally means “small lump.” This bump near the eyelid is caused when an oil-producing gland (meibomian glands) becomes swollen and oil clogs up the opening. In contrast to a stye, this is typically a more slowly developing etiology. Moreover, usually, a chalazion is located further from the eyelid’s edge than a stye is and it is usually larger. Finally, styes can be initially uncomfortable but chalazia typically are not.
