Meibomian Cyst

Meibomian cyst is a swelling of one of the glands at the base of an eyelash due to blockage of the duct of the gland. The cyst becomes swollen and distorts the shape of the eyelid. Antibiotic drops or ointment may prevent secondary infection. Surgery will be required to drain the cyst if it persists.
