Q

occurs retention of secretions (sebum) in the gland, causing its enlargement. The pent-up and extravasated secretions (fatty in nature) act like an irritant and excite non-infective lipogranulomatous inflammation of the blocked meibomian glands and surrounding tissue.

18
Q

may be felt with moderately large chalazion

  • Painless swelling in the eyelid
  • Mild heaviness in the lid
A

19
Q

may occur occasionally due to induced astigmatism by a very large chalazion pressing on the cornea.

  • Blurred vision
  • Watering (epiphora)
A

22
Q

Upper lid is involved more commonly than the lower lid probably because of the fact that upper lid contains more meibomian glands than the lower lid. Frequently multiple chalazia may be seen.

Q

Patching of eye should be done, after instilling antibiotic eye ointment, for about 6 to 12 hours.

(T/F)

A

TRUE

26
Q

Symptoms include acute pain associated with swelling of the lid, mild watering and photophobia.

Thus, the symptoms are similar to hordeolum externum, except that pain is more intense, due to the swelling being embedded deeply in the dense fibrous tissue.
