Chalazion
A chalazion develops within the Meibomian
glands of the eyelid, which are sebaceous glands that produce the tear film
that lubricates the eyes. The eyelid has approximately 100 of these glands,
located near the eyelashes.
Causes
The condition is caused by obstruction of the duct that drains one of these glands.
