|
Slow-growing swelling of the upper or lower eyelid usually caused by a blockage in the oil glands in the eyelid. Referred as meibomian gland or chalazion or conjunctival granuloma
Eyelid glands are called the meibomian glands. They are also known as the palpebral glands, tarsal glands, or tarsoconjunctival glands. There are 30 to 40 of these glands in each of the upper and lower lids. The tiny openings of each of these oil or sebaceous glands are just behind the lid lashes at the lid margins. These glands produce a thick liquid secretion that is discharged into the tear film of the eye. This liquid is a mixture of oil and mucus and is called sebum. The liquid acts to lubricate the surface of the eye
The narrow opening through which a meibomian gland secretes its material can become clogged from narrowing of the opening or hardening of the sebaceous liquid near the opening. If this occurs, the gland will have a backup of the material it secretes and it will swell. This leads to thickening of the walls of the gland and leakage of oil into the lid itself, causing inflammation both within the gland and the eyelid. This inflamed enlargement is a chalazion
Most tarsal cysts are treated with warm compresses to the eyelid to promote healing and circulation of blood to the inflamed area. In addition, the doctor may prescribe an antibiotic drop or ointment to be used immediately after the compresses. If the tarsal cyst persist and is causing an unsightly lump, it can be removed surgically through the inside of the lid
homeopathydiscerns that the body has within it a controlling and defending force and power .it is only when this fighting power or resistance is disturbed, do we fall ill. The disease is thus not an affection of the parts but a disorder in the patient as a whole .Since one patient differs from another each requires a different medicine based on his individual and mental symptoms
Homeopathic medicines help to open up the narrow opening in the meibomian glands, thus improving the free flow of secretions within the gland and the ducts. Medicines also help decreasing the pain and inflammation both within the gland and the eyelid. It also helps in preventing recurrences and flare ups
