Chalazia and hordeola are small, inflamed bumps on the eyelid or eyelid margin. The two conditions are separate entities but can oftentimes be treated the same way. Sometimes they will respond to conservative management with warm compress and prescription ointments. Often, however, a small surgical procedure will need to be performed in order to achieve resolution. This can generally be performed in an office setting by your eyelid surgeon with a very short recovery time.
