KGO Radio talk show host Ronn Owens discusses battle with Parkinson's disease. One of the Bay Area's best-known radio hosts recently revealed he has Parkinson's disease. The entire interview airs Sunday at 10 a.m. on ABC7.
A chalazion is sometimes the aftereffect of a sty. It is less tender but lasts longer. Natural oils from the eyelid's oil glands must drain through ducts out to the eyelashes. If debris blocks this normal drainage, it may cause a sty or chalazion. Sometimes, this debris accumulates because of a condition called blepharitis, a long-standing inflammation of the edges of the eyelids, with redness, thickening and scales and crusts.
In general, a chalazion does not affect sight. Rarely, the lump itself is large enough to distort the ocular surface and cause blurring of the vision. The vision will return to normal once the chalazion gets smaller or is removed. The pressure of the chalazion on the eye does not cause glaucoma.
