An eyelid cyst requires surgery, especially if it presses against the cornea (as it can change the cornea&#8217;s shape).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Palpebral ptosis<\/strong> (obstructing vision). Cases where the patient\u2019s eye is obstructed require eyelid-lifting surgery.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ectropion and entropion:<\/strong> In both cases if the condition is pronounced then surgery will be required to correct the eyelid closure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Epiphora:<\/strong> This means tearing secondary to tear duct obstruction is treated depending on its type:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>If it is congenital, the area will first be massaged until the tear duct is open. If that is not possible, then there are different surgery options.<\/li>\n<li>Acute dacryocystitis requires antibiotics to treat the infection and surgery depending on the cause and degree of obstruction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Warty and carcinomatous lesions.<\/strong> These require surgical extirpation, especially in the case of malignant lesions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thyroid ophthalmopathy <\/strong>depends on keeping the underlying disease under control, but nonetheless this does not guarantee better results.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Preseptal cellulitis<\/strong> requires treatment of the infection, as does orbital cellulitis, but in the case of the latter surgery may be required.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\" style=\"height:15px;\"><\/div>[vc_single_image image=&#8221;1451&#8243; onclick=&#8221;img_link_large&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<style>.vcex-heading.vcex_69dc2da63ca4e{color:#ffffff;}<\/style><h2 class=\"vcex-heading vcex-heading-plain vcex-module wpex-heading wpex-text-2xl vc_custom_1577990952779 vcex_69dc2da63ca4e\"><span class=\"vcex-heading-inner wpex-inline-block\">Related entries<\/span><\/h2>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"vcex-module vcex-post-type-grid-wrap wpex-clr\"><div class=\"wpex-row vcex-post-type-grid entries wpex-clr\"><div class=\"vcex-post-type-entry vcex-grid-item wpex-clr col span_1_of_2 col-1 entry post-2004 type-post has-media cat-141 post_tag-145 post_tag-142 post_tag-146 post_tag-143 post_tag-144 translation_priority-230\"><div class=\"vcex-post-type-entry-inner entry-inner wpex-first-mt-0 wpex-last-mb-0 wpex-clr\"><div class=\"vcex-post-type-entry-media entry-media wpex-relative\"><a href=\"https:\/\/inof.es\/en\/what-is-blepharitis\/\" title=\"What is blepharitis?\"><img width=\"700\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/inof.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/blefaritis-parpelles.jpg\" class=\"vcex-blog-entry-img wpex-align-middle\" alt=\"Blefaritis\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inof.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/blefaritis-parpelles.jpg 700w, https:\/\/inof.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/blefaritis-parpelles-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"vcex-post-type-entry-details entry-details wpex-bordered wpex-first-mt-0 wpex-last-mb-0 wpex-clr\"><h2 class=\"vcex-post-type-entry-title entry-title wpex-mb-5\"><a href=\"https:\/\/inof.es\/en\/what-is-blepharitis\/\">What is blepharitis?<\/a><\/h2 ><div class=\"vcex-post-type-entry-excerpt entry-excerpt wpex-my-15 wpex-text-pretty wpex-last-mb-0 wpex-clr\"><p>Blepharitis is inflammation or an infection of the eyelids.
