Some aspects of Internal Hordeolum with homoepathic mode of treatment-

It is the suppurative inflammation of a meibomian gland of exactly same nature as stye but is comparatively rare. It is often called a suppurative chalazion and sometimes may be due to secondary infection of a chalazion.

Causative agent- Staphylococcus.

Symptoms-They are same as for stye but are more severe.

Signs-
(1) A tender, painful swelling within the substance of the lid in the tarsal plate, a little distance away from the lid margin.
(2) The point of maximum tenderness is away from the lid margin.
(3) If the lesion enlarges, the pus points on the tarsal conjunctiva and not on the root of an eyelash. It rarely points on the skin.

Treatment-
(1) Lid hygiene should be properly maintained.
