A chalazion is sometimes the aftereffect of a sty. It is less tender but lasts longer. Natural oils from the eyelid's oil glands must drain through ducts out to the eyelashes. If debris blocks this normal drainage, it may cause a sty or chalazion. Sometimes, this debris accumulates because of a condition called blepharitis, a long-standing inflammation of the edges of the eyelids, with redness, thickening and scales and crusts.
Chalazia or chalazion is a painless, slow-growing, inflammatory cyst that develops in a small tear gland of the eyelid. These small glands are termed meibomianitis glands. A chalazion forms when blockage or inflammation of a mebiomian gland occurs. Chalazions are often a result of an unhealed stye, or an inflammatory disease called blepharitis. Certain medications, hormonal changes or environmental conditions can make a person more likely to develop a chalazion.
