What is a chalazion?
It's a manageable eyelid condition characterized by a cyst caused by chronic granulomatous inflammation of Meibomian glands, resulting from an oil gland blockage.

Causes:
Chalazia are relatively common, accounting for approximately 25% of eyelid lesions, and recurrence is possible. By adopting healthy lifestyle habits, such as maintaining good eyelid hygiene, avoiding eye rubbing, and minimizing exposure to environmental stressors, you can reduce your risk of developing a chalazion.
Certain medical conditions, including chronic blepharitis and rosacea, can increase your risk, but awareness and proactive management can make a positive difference. How can you differentiate between a stye and a chalazion? While both conditions cause eyelid lumps, they have distinct characteristics.

Chalazion vs Stye (Hordeolum):
A stye is typically painful, with redness, swelling, and a yellowish, pus-filled center, whereas a chalazion is usually firm, painless, and pus-free. By understanding these differences, eye care providers can take steps towards effective management and healing.

Treatment/Management:
(None surgical options)
Although home remedies like warm compresses and improved eyelid hygiene can be beneficial, it's essential to consult your local eye doctor for personalized guidance and care. With the right approach, you can overcome a chalazion and enjoy optimal eye health.

Pink eye (Acute Bacterial Conjunctivitis) is an eye infection caused by bacteria. It is highly contagious, resulting in soreness, red eye, excessive tearing with light yellow mucus discharge. The four most common bacteria that cause bacterial conjunctivitis in the US are Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis.

Patients should do the following: use hand sanitizer and/or wash their hands thoroughly after touching their eyes or nasal secretions; avoid touching the noninfected eye after touching the infected eye; avoid sharing towels or pillows; and avoid swimming in pools.

Treatment includes measures to prevent spread and antibiotics (topical antibiotics for all causes except gonococcal and chlamydial).

See your local eye doctor for proper diagnosis and prompt treatment.
