Chalazion (Meibomian Cyst) - is an enlarged tarsal gland which results from
accumulation of its sebaceous products because of blockage of the tarsal duct.
There is a gradual painless swelling of the gland deep in the eyelid. It may become
secondarily infected and give rise to an acute suppurative inflammation.
Treatment is by hot forments and antibiotic eyedrops until the acute stage
subsides, then excision or curettage via the conjunctival surface.
