###Human: There is a lump like structure in the eye associated with pain. What is it? ###Assistant: Hello. I have gone through your wife's problems and seen the photo attached (attachment removed to protect patient identity). This condition is called a chalazion, it is a sequel of style and it happens when long-standing infection is set up in the eyelid glands. They are usually treated surgically unless resolving with a course of antibiotics. So my advice is that you please do the following. Avoid eye rubbing. Hot fomentation to the affected eye and massage the lid after giving heat. Tobramycin eye ointment two times a day for a week in the affected eye. It is necessary to meet an ophthalmologist in the following scenarios. If eyes become red, start having sticky discharge from eyes, vision becomes blurred, not responding to treatment even after a week.
