Draining chalazion of the eyelid (Video)
Here you can see a draining chalazion of the upper eyelid. Chalazions occur from a blockage of one of the oil-producing meibomian glands at the lid margin. The static oil then incites a non-infectious granulomatous inflammation in the lid that creates a non-tender bump.
Small chalazions can often be treated with warm compresses and lid massage. Larger ones require drainage for better cosmesis.

Dis video was so nice…
nice photo showing a swelling in a mebomian gland.there is also some sort of edema in the lid margin.it is noticed that there is no pain associated with the case till infection occurs
I think that one is big enough to be drained, just saying.
A very good video that explains chalazion(mebomian cyst)completely!
I’ve had mine for a month, doesn’t look like it is going to drain. I’ve used warm compression the whole time, mine seems to be getting bigger.
