Primary difference between chalazion & hordeolum:
chalazia are a result of inflammation and hordela are infectious
(both caused by blockage in a duct of the meibomian gland
leading to the eyelid surface)
a granulomatous infection of an (oil-secreting) Meibomian gland
that becomes obstructed and presents as a painless swelling of
the eyelid; at first it may be tender and erythematous before
evolving into a nontender lump
CHALAZION; warm compress 4x/day and incision and
curettage or intralesional glucocorticoid injection can be
performed if not resolved after several weeks
treatment of hordeolum (stye)
Initial => warm compress to potentiate spontaneous drainage
Inflammed => topical erythromycin or ciprofloxacin
Resistant/Recurrent => oral cephalexin (Keflex)
