Eyelid Pathology

Eyelid pathology refers to a variety of conditions and diseases affecting the eyelids, which can include infections, tumors, inflammatory conditions, or structural abnormalities. Common issues include blepharitis (inflammation), chalazia (blocked oil glands), and skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma. Symptoms may include redness, swelling, pain, or changes in the eyelid's appearance. Diagnosis often involves a physical examination and sometimes a biopsy. Treatment options vary from medications and warm compresses to surgical procedures, depending on the specific condition. Early detection is crucial for effective management and to prevent complications.
