▬ 📌 Eyelid Infections and Neoplasms
Stye is the first eyelid infection discussed in this lecture, another name of which is hordeolum. Clinically, stye has a reddish nodular appearance. For treatment purposes, incision and drainage are carried out elaborated in detail in the lecture.

After that, a chronic condition i.e. chalazion is highlighted. Likewise, preseptal cellulitis is delineated which is characterized by edema and orbital septum is also involved. This is followed by orbital cellulitis.

Next comes the elucidation of viral infection caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 known as ocular herpes. Moving onward, information is delivered about clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of blepharitis and viral conjunctivitis.

In addition to this, benign eyelid tumors are reported. In xanthelasma, deposits of cholesterol are seen. After that, dermoid cyst is explained along with seborrheic keratosis which is a less harmful condition.

Subsequently, a condition in which a horn-like appearance made of keratin material is seen on the eye is referred to as Cornu Cutaneum also known as Cutaneous Horn comes under consideration.

Light is also shed on some more severe conditions such as cavernous hemangioma, periocular capillary hemangioma, and nevus in the lower eyelid. Then focus is shifted towards malignant eyelid tumors encompassing nodular basal cell carcinoma squamous cell carcinoma, and Merkel cell carcinoma.
