Stye and Chalazia Diagnosis
It is not always necessary to get medical treatments for styes and chalazia. The symptoms tend to disappear after a few days or weeks. Nevertheless, when they keep occurring and affect your life, make sure to visit your healthcare provider. Both conditions can be diagnosed with a physical exam of the eyelids, including the surrounding skin texture, eyelid’s structure, and eyelashes. During this procedure, your doctor may use a bright light to have a closer look at your eyelids and determine whether you have a stye, chalazion, or other conditions. You may also need to answer a few questions about your symptoms and a history of other related problems. [7]
