Chalazion (Meibomian Cyst)
A chalazion, also known as a meibomian cyst, is a common condition affecting the eyelid. The cyst (fluid-filled swelling) is usually felt as a small lump. Occasionally, it can become infected.
A chalazion is a lump of the upper or lower eyelid caused by inflammation of a gland of the lid. It may be soft and fluid-filled or firmer. A chalazion is also referred to as a meibomian cyst, tarsal cyst, or conjunctival granuloma.

Chronic inflammation of the Meibomian glands leads to Meibomian cysts or chalazions. The word "chalazion" is Greek for small pimple (and little hail). Like a pimple, a chalazion is an inflamed swelling.
