Cause #3: Inflammation

The meibomian glands need a clear passageway to be able to secrete fluids to keep the eyes well lubricated. A chalazion is caused when the fluid is unable to escape. This is sometimes caused because the eyes are inflamed, causing the passageway to become restricted.

Such inflammation can be down to a number of reasons. Allergies are one possible cause, while injuries can also lead to inflammations. While it can be very difficult to resist, you should try to avoid rubbing your eyes if they are itchy. This is likely to cause inflammation, or aggravate any inflammation that is already present.
