Question
My daughter is over two years old, and there is a lump inside her right lower eyelid. What is it, and how should it be treated? It’s been a month now, and eye drops haven’t helped. What should I do?
Answer
Hello, according to your description, a lump inside the lower eyelid of the eye usually raises concerns about a chalazion. This condition is primarily caused by the blockage of the meibomian gland’s duct. It is recommended that you consult an ophthalmologist as soon as possible for a diagnosis. If it is confirmed to be a chalazion and it has become quite large, treatment with eye drops alone is not possible. You can initially try using local heat treatment. If there is no improvement, you should consider surgery.
