Chalazion
A chalazion, also known as an eyelid or meibomian cyst, is a small red lump that forms on the upper or lower eyelid. Caused by a blocked oil gland, a chalazion usually isn't painful, but it may cause blurred vision and a watery, irritated eye.
Applying warm compresses for 15 minutes three times a day and gently massaging the eyelid may help alleviate the oil gland blockage. If the chalazion persists, a doctor may drain the fluid it contains through a small incision.5‘Chalazion: Symptoms, Causes, Treatments.’ Cleveland Clinic, my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17657-chalazion
