ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY THE LAST THING I’M GOING TO POST ABOUT MY RIGHT EYE

There is a name for my condition. It’s called a chalazion:

A chalazion (pronounced /kəˈleɪziən/ (plural chalazia /kəˈleɪziə/), also known as a meibomian gland lipogranuloma, is a cyst in the eyelid that is caused by inflammation of a blocked meibomian gland, usually on the upper eyelid. Chalazions differ from styes (hordeolums) in that they are usually painless apart from the tenderness caused when they swell up, and in size (chalazia tend to be larger than styes). A chalazion may eventually disappear on its own after a few months, though more often than not, some treatment is necessary.

Which isn’t as interesting as “alien death bubble” or "serial killer eye transplant", I know. But then we can’t all be TV Smith.


Or Lux Interior.

I thought an eye exorcism sounded far cooler.

Well, exactly. :)
