Warm soaks to start: Chalazion is a swelling in the eyelid caused by chronic inflammation of a small oil producing gland (meibomian gland). It is usually localized as a pea-like lump and is a reaction to trapped oil secretions which may become secondarily infected. When small and without symptoms, it may disappear without treatment. If large, it may cause blurred vision.Treatment includes warm soaks and antibiotics.
