A chalazion is a swelling of the eyelid from a blocked gland. Its benign but
can need surgery to correct.

ectropia is an eversion of the eyelid so that it exposes the lining of the
eyelid and usually some of the eyeball

not sure about euryblepharon
eury - means wide and blepharos means eyelid........ thats the best I can
do, sorry, its not one I have come across before :-((

Same with orthophoric - ortho relates to the eye and phoria relates to the
visual axis of the eye - so I am guessing that he is talking about the
nystagmus..... could he be referring to a fine jerk like nystagmus that goes
right across the eye??

Hope that helps some......
