Calzion: a comprehensive review

What is calzion?

A chalazion, also known as a chalazion, is a fatty lump that forms inside one of the sebaceous glands in the eyelid. These glands are responsible for the production of fat that helps maintain eye moisture and prevent dryness. When one or more glands become blocked, the fat accumulates and forms a benign lump, usually round, red or pink, on the eyelid.

What are the causes of chalazion?

The exact cause of chalazion is unknown, but possible risk factors include:

Inflammation of the eyelids (blepharitis): chronic inflammation of the edges of the eyelids can cause blockage of the mammary glands.
Skin diseases: Skin conditions such as eczema and rosacea may increase the risk of chalazion.
Family history: There may be a genetic predisposition to the development of chalazion.
Environmental factors: Prolonged exposure to dust, wind and other irritants may increase the risk.
Nutrition: Vitamin A or D deficiency may be a risk factor.

What are the symptoms of chalazion?

Symptoms of chalazion may include:

Lump on the eyelid: The main symptom is a benign lump, usually round, red or pink, on the eyelid.
Swelling: Swelling of the eyelid in the area of ​​the lump.
Erythema: Redness in the area of ​​the lump.
Sensitivity to touch: sensitivity to touch in the area of ​​the lump.
Hyperlacrimia: Increased production of tears.
Blurred vision: In rare cases, a large calculus may press on the cornea and cause blurred vision.

How is malnutrition diagnosed?

Diagnosing chalazion is usually done by an eye exam at an ophthalmologist. The doctor will examine your eyes using a slit lamp and may perform additional tests, such as measuring intraocular pressure.

How is chalazion treated?

The treatment of chalazion depends on the severity of the symptoms. Treatment options include:

Warm compresses: Applying warm compresses to the eyelid several times a day for 10-15 minutes can help dissolve the fat and open the clogged mammary gland.
The eyelid massage: a gentle massage of the eyelid in the area of ​​the lump can help remove the blocked fat.
Antibiotic eye drops: In cases of infection, the ophthalmologist may prescribe antibiotic eye drops.
Steroid eye ointments: in cases of inflammation, the ophthalmologist may prescribe steroid eye ointments.
Surgery: In severe cases, when chalazion does not respond to other treatments, surgery may be necessary to remove the lump.
