They are typically slowly enlarging; non-tender eyelid nodules present in the sub tarsal conjunctiva of the eye lids. Chalazia are typically benign and self-limiting, caused by inflammation and obstruction of sebaceous glands of the eyelids, also called as meibomian cyst. It can be correlated with Utsangini which is the nodular growth like swelling outside eyelids and with its opening present inside due to the vitiation of the tridoshas.
