	Chalazion (With Pictures) - Causes, Symptoms And Treatment
		A common eye disorder, a chalazion is a granulomatous inflammation of a meibomian gland in the upper or lower eyelid.
		A chalazion may become large enough to press on the eyeball, producing astigmatism; a large chalazion seldom subsides spontaneously and may have to be incised and curetted surgically.
		Chalazions tend to occur farther from the edge of the eyelid than styes (although a gradual swelling can be felt near the edge of the lid), and tend to "point" toward the inside or nose side of the eyelid.
