Chalazion -Eye/Optical clinic near Ojokoro

A chalazion is a small, usually painless, lump or swelling that appears on your eyelid. A blocked meibomian or oil gland causes this condition. It can develop on the upper or lower eyelid, and may disappear without treatment. Chalazia is the term for multiple chalazion.

A chalazion is sometimes confused with an internal or external stye. An internal stye is an infection of a meibomian gland. An external stye is an infection in the area of the eyelash follicle and sweat gland. Styes are usually painful and chalazia usually aren’t. Chalazia may develop after styes.

You should see your eye doctor if you think you have a chalazion, especially if it blocks your vision or if you’ve had chalazia in the past.

Causes and risk factors

The chalazion is caused by a blockage in one of the tiny meibomian glands of the upper and lower eyelids. The oil these glands produce helps to moisten the eyes.

Inflammation or viruses affecting the meibomian glands are the underlying causes of chalazia.

Chalazia are more common in people with inflammatory conditions like seborrhea, acne, rosacea, chronic blepharitis, or long-term inflammation of the eyelid. They’re also more common in people with viral conjunctivitis or an infection covering the inside of the eyes and eyelids.

Recurring or unusual chalazia may be symptoms of more serious conditions, but these are rare.

Symptoms

A chalazion usually appears as a painless lump or swelling on your upper or lower eyelid. Chalazia may affect both upper and lower lids and can occur in both eyes at the same time. Depending on the size and location of the chalazion, it may blur or block vision.

Although not as common, a chalazion may be red, swollen, and painful if an infection is present.

Diagnosis

In most cases, a doctor can diagnose this condition by taking a close look at the lump on your eyelid. Your doctor will also ask about your symptoms to determine if the lump is a chalazion, a stye, or something else.

Treatment

Some chalazia can go away without treatment. If your doctor does recommend treatment, options may include:

Home care

First, do not try to squeeze the chalazion. It’s best if you touch it as little as possible.

Instead, you should apply a warm compress to your eyelid four times per day for about 10 minutes at a time. This can reduce the swelling by softening the oils in the blocked gland. Make sure you wash your hands before you touch the area.

Your doctor may also tell you to gently massage the lump a few times per day or to scrub your eyelid. Your doctor may also prescribe eye drops or eyelid creams.

Medical treatment

If the chalazion doesn’t go away with home treatment, your doctor may recommend a corticosteroid injection or a surgical procedure. Both the injection and the surgery are effective treatments.

The choice of treatment depends on several different factors. Your doctor will explain the benefits and risks.

Preventing a chalazion

It’s not always possible to avoid getting a chalazion. This is especially true if you’re prone to this type of eye problem. But there are a few things that you can do to prevent this condition:

  • Always wash your hands before touching your eyes.
  • Make sure that anything that comes in contact with your eyes, such as contact lenses and glasses, is clean.
  • If you have a condition that increases your chance of developing chalazia, follow your doctor’s instructions to help control them.

Eye clinics in Ojodu Berger Omole

Edited By: Dan Gudgel
Mar. 27, 2020

It is possible to do some basic testing of your vision and the vision of your family members and friends at home. Home eye testing is not a substitute for a complete medical eye examination by an ophthalmologist. Testing your vision at home will not be as accurate as what your ophthalmologist can do. But home eye testing could help you discover a problem that requires professional attention.

Many eye disorders can be corrected if discovered and treated early. Learn more about when eye exams are recommended.

Children under age 3 should have their vision tested by an optometrist, ophthalmologist or other vision care professional.

What You Need to Test Your Vision at Home

  • Something to cover the eye, like a paper cup or facial tissue.
  • Scissors.
  • Tape or tack to hang the test chart on the wall.
  • A pencil or pen to record the results.
  • A yardstick, tape measure, or ruler.
  • A flashlight, if available.
  • A well-lighted room at least 10 feet long.
  • The correct testing chart.

Prepare the Test Area

  • Select either the child’s or adult’s test chart and print it out.
    • When printed, the largest letter at the top of the chart should be just under an inch (23 millimeters) tall.
  • Measure 10 feet from a wall with no windows, and place a chair at this point.
  • Tape or pin the chart on the bare wall, level with the eyes of the person you will test as he or she sits in the chair.

Testing a Child (Age 3 or Older)

Explain to your child that you are going to play a “pointing game.” Using the practice E card, show him or her how to point in the same direction that the E is “pointing.” Turn the practice E in the four different directions (up, down, right, left). You may hold the practice card as close as the child wants until he or she can point in the four directions without help.

  • Have your child sit in the chair 10 feet from the chart, holding the cover over one eye without applying any pressure. Do not let the child peek. A second person may be needed to hold the cover in place and watch for peeking. If your child wears glasses, he or she should wear them during the test.
  • If the chart seems too dark to see clearly, use the flashlight to illuminate the test letters.
  • Point at each of the Es, starting with the largest. Have your child point in the direction the E is pointing.
  • Write down the number of the smallest line your child can correctly see (more than half of the Es correctly identified).
  • Then repeat the test with the other eye covered. If your child is tired, you may wish to test the other eye at a different time.

Testing an Adult or Older Child

  • Have the person being tested sit in the chair, 10 feet from the chart. Make sure the chart is level with his or her eyes.
  • Have the person being tested cover one eye. If he or she uses eyeglasses for distance vision, the glasses should be worn during the test.
  • Shine the flashlight on each line of the chart, while the person you are testing reads the letters out loud. Continue to the bottom row or until the letters are too difficult for the person to see.
  • Write down the number of the smallest line seen correctly (the line with more than half of the letters correctly identified).
  • Now repeat the test with the other eye covered and record the results.

What Are Normal Scores for Home Eye Testing?

A child should be able to see the 20/40 line by age 3 or 4 and the 20/30 line by age 5. If you test your child several times on different days and your child cannot see the expected line of print or cannot see the same line with each eye, he or she may have an eye problem. You should have your child evaluated by a physician.

An older child or adult should be reading the 20/20 line. You should arrange for a medical eye examination by an ophthalmologist if there are abnormal results.

Home Vision Test Results

Record the results of your home screening by filling in the number of the smallest line the person could read for each line below. If the test results indicate that you or your child needs to see an ophthalmologist, take the numbers you wrote down with you.
