Century structure

To better understand the nature of pain in the eyelid, you need to know their structure. Eyelids are designed to protect the eyes from foreign objects, rain, sun and dust.

At the edge of each of the eyelids are hairs - eyelashes. In the thickness of the eyelid tissue itself, glands are located to isolate the lubrication of the lower margin of the eyelids — they are called meibomian glands. The eyelids move with the help of muscles - they rise and fall. When the eyelid hurts, the pain can be localized in any part of it.

Inflammation is accompanied by high fever.
