    tarsal plate, conjunctiva.
    • Glands: Meibomian glands, Zeis glands.
    Common Causes of Eyelid Swellings
    •Inflammatory causes:
    • Chalazion
    • Hordeolum (Stye)
    • Blepharitis
    •Infectious causes:
    • Preseptal cellulitis
    • Orbital cellulitis
    • Herpes zoster ophthalmicus
    •Allergic reactions:
    • Allergic conjunctivitis

    •Trauma-related:
    • Blunt trauma

    Preseptal Cellulitis
    •Definition: Infection of the eyelid and periocular
    tissues anterior to the orbital septum.
    •Symptoms:
    • Swelling, redness of the eyelid
    • No impairment of eye movements or vision
    • Often following local trauma or sinusitis
    •Management:
    • Oral antibiotics (e.g., amoxicillin-
    clavulanate)
    • Close monitoring for progression to orbital
    cellulitis
    Orbital Cellulitis
    •Definition: A serious infection involving tissues
    behind the orbital septum, potentially life-
    threatening.
    •Symptoms:
    • Severe eyelid swelling, pain
    • Proptosis (eye bulging)
    • Impaired eye movements
    • Vision loss in severe cases
    •Management:
    • IV antibiotics
    • Urgent ophthalmology consultation
    Blepharitis
    •Definition: Chronic inflammation of the eyelid
    margin.
    •Symptoms:

    • Symptoms: Itchy, watery eyes, redness,
    eyelid swelling.
    • Management: Antihistamines, cold
    compresses.
