Aso known as a meibomian gland lipogranuloma, is a cyst in the eyelid that is caused by inflammation of a blocked meibomian gland, usually on the upper eyelid. Chalazions differ from styes (hordeolums) in that they are usually painless apart from the tenderness caused when they swell up, and in size (chalazia tend to be larger than styes). A chalazion may eventually disappear on its own after a few months, though more often than not, some treatment is necessary.

| Complications
A large chalazion can cause astigmatism due to pressure on the cornea. This will resolve with resolution of the chalazion.
Complications including, but not limited to hypopigmentation may occur with corticosteroid injection.
The presence of recurring chalazion in the same area sometimes leads to a consideration of sebaceous cell carcinoma
Homoeopathic Approach:
Homoeopathic treatment is strongly recommended in chalazion our medicines help in curing the inflammation leading to dissolution of growth. Homoeopathic medicines also help in preventing recurrent infection thus preventing any further recurrence.
