	Eyelid And Tear Duct Disorders

•	Blepharitis Blepharitis is an inflammation of the eyelids that involves the edges of the eyelids and eyelash hair follicles.
•	Drooping Eyelid (Ptosis) In this condition, the border of the upper eyelid falls to a position that is lower than normal. In severe cases, the drooping eyelid can cover all or part of the pupil and interfere with vision.
•	Styes and Chalazions A sty, also called hordeolum, is a small abscess of the oil gland associated with an eyelash hair follicle. A chalazion, like a sty, is a swelling within the eyelid caused by inflammation of an oil gland.
•	Tear Duct Infection (Dacryocystitis) Dacryocystitis is an infection in the tear ducts of the eye or in the tear sac, also called the lacrimal sac.
