Question:
Uveitis?
Answer:
Inflammation of the uveal tract of the eye, including the iris, ciliary body,
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
and choroid. It may be characterized by an irregularly shaped pupil,
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
inflammation around the cornea, pus in the anterior chamber, opaque i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
deposits on the cornea, pain, and lacrimation. The most common form of
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
uveitis is iritis. Symptoms include: redness, pain, light sensitivity, blurred
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
vision.
- REFER - Uveitis is associated with loss of vision from retinal scarring;
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
referral to ophthalmology is appropriate.

Question:
Chalazion?
Answer:
An inflamed nodule (lump) that develops on the eyelid. Chalazia are
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
caused by the bacterial infection of glands in the eyelid. The infection may
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
result from poor hygiene or an existing skin condition affecting the face,
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
,such as rosacea. Chalazia vary in size and location in the eyelid,
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
depending on which type of gland is obstructed. i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
When a sebaceous gland in the eyelid becomes infected, bacterial and
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
oily secretions initiate an inflammatory response that blocks the gland and
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
causes a rounded bump to form.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
Superficial chalazia form when glands along the edge of the eyelid
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
become infected and blocked. i,- i,- i,- i,-
Deep chalazia form when meibomian glands in the conjunctival portion of
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
the eyelid (lid lining) become infected and blocked.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
Chalazia are usually painless. i,- i,- i,-
- TREAT - Treatment involves warm compresses and massage to promote
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
drainage. Chalazions disappear without treatment within several weeks to
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
a month, although they often recur. Surgical excision may be required if
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
not resolved or if complications are present.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
Question:
Chalazion Etiology? i,-
Answer:
Caused by thickening of the fluid in the oil glands (meibomian glands) of
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
the eyelid. Most commonly occurs on the UPPER eyelid, but can also
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
affect the lower eyelid.
i,- i,- i,- i,-
More common in adults than children; most frequently occurs in people
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
30-50
,Question:
Chalazion HPI? i,-
Answer:
- Small red and swollen area of the eyelid forms a painless, slow-growing
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
lump the size of a pea.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
- Gradual onset over several weeks.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
- Tearing and mild irritation may result as the obstructed glands are
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
needed for healthy tears. i,- i,- i,-
- Blurred vision occurs if the chalazion is large enough to press against
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
the eyeball.
i,- i,-
- Rarely, may be an indication of an infection or skin cancer.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
- Risk Factors: Acne rosacea, chronic blepharitis, seborrhea, tuberculosis,
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
and viral infection.
i,- i,- i,-
- Assess for symptoms and the presence of any possible contributing
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
general health problems. i,- i,-
Question:
Chalazion Exam Findings? i,- i,-
Answer:
- The eyelid will be diffusely swollen.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
- Within 1-2 days, a small non-tender nodule or lump develops.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
- A chalazion usually drains through the inner surface of the eyelid or is
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
absorbed spontaneously over 2-8 weeks. i,- i,- i,- i,-
, Question:
Hordeolum (Stye)? i,-
Answer:
The infection, and subsequent inflammation, of the eyelid. Though
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
infection can occur on either the outer or inner part of the eyelid, the
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
term "stye" commonly refers to an infected eyelash follicle on the external
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
part of the eyelid.
i,- i,- i,- i,-
After the initial infection, pus builds up in the eyelash follicle. The stye will
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
continue to grow and swell for a few days before it eventually bursts and
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
drains. Most styes heal on their own, but in rare occurrences, the pus may
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
harden and progress into chalazion.
i,- i,- i,- i,-
- TREAT - Treatment involves warm compresses. The condition is usually
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
self-limiting and resolves on its own. If there is evidence of associated
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
abscess or cellulitis, topical or oral antibiotics may be required.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
